NIS 2012 VERY Slow Opening GUI and Accessing Settings

Hi.

 

I have a fairly fresh install of XP SP3 (up to date) with NIS 2011 installed  which works fine.

 

When I updated to 2012 and tried to access the GUI, the GUI had a very slow startup.

Then when ever I have tried to accesses the settings Norton became unresponsive.

 

I have tried using the Norton Removal Tool to uninstall and try 2012 again, but the same thing happens.

 

I have again used the tool to remove 2012 and install 2011 which continues to work fine.

 

Help would be appreciated.

 

System Specs:

Windows XP Pro SP3 (x86)

CPU: Intel Pentium 4 2.9Ghz

RAM: 1G

 

Thanks.
