I upgraded from 20,4.0.40 thinking this version might resolve the very annoying 3048,3 errors. Installed fine, seems to be working. However, in an initial attempt to see what my version is I clicked on the support tab. Doing this consistently crashes the product. It seemingly restarts correctly, and seems to run fine as long as I stay away from support. Am I indeed protected? I will leave the jokes about lack of support to others.
Running Windows 7, home premium. Best Buy version of product.
The last time i have "crashing" with NIS Software , it was in 2008 ... after i replace the RAM Hardware in 2008 , the crashings gone.. it was unstable Hardware Problem on my side in 2008..
Now my Questions to Tony Weiss , can these Norton Report and Logging Assistant find hardware Problems inside the Logs e.g. unstable Ram ??
Open product. Click support in upper right. A popup appears windows has detected this product has stopped working. Norton then restarts.
I have beaten 3048,3 error to death in other posts in this site.
Believe I acted on your private email. Please let me know if I gave you what you wanted.
Per my use of the word crashing. I click on support and get a Windows popup box that says program has stopped responding. It only offers close program. So maybe windows is closing, rather than crashing.

This seems very easily reproducible. Has Norton been able to do so?

There could be a corruption in some part of your installation.
A reinstall of your product may straighten things out. I would suggest using the Norton Removal and Reinstall Tool.
Download the Norton Removal and Reinstall Tool from here www.norton.com/nrnr
If you use Identity Safe, backup/export your data. Use the CSV format for compatibility.
Run the Norton Removal and Reinstall Tool.
Reboot.
Run LiveUpdate manually a few times, rebooting as necessary, until no updates are available.
Try to log into your Identity Safe. If you can, you are done. If not, Import your Identity Safe data.
Thanks,
Tried it and still same issue. This seems to be Norton's normal approach. Uninstall, reinstall, add nauseum. I am a programmer. Anything can happen, but bad installs should be very low on the list. I am waiting for them to tell me a virus and that is the cause of the failure. Another favorite. Maybe I will just fall back to 2013 and learn to live with the 3048,3 errors.
I have no idea where Tony went. I sent him a dump as he requested. He hasn't even taken the time to reply he got it.
Well thanks for the suggestion.
Hi JohnOzuk,
Sorry for the delay in response; I've received the logs and our team is reviewing them to determine the cause. We're also working on reproducing it. Thanks for your help with this issue. I'll let you know what we find out.
Understand fix may take a while, but would appreciate knowing if reproducible. Do I need to do right click, run as administrator, when installing. Since most of it works, doubt that is an issue.
Could you unmark your response as the solution. Finger slip on iPad.

I generally try to install any software, but especially security software using a Windows account with Admin privilidges. If you use a standard user, the UAC should ask for admin authorization.

I have had this happen many times. As the poster, you can click on 'Options' at the top right of your post and there should be an option to remove the Solution flag. In this case it looks like Tony already did this for you.
Thanks,
I did find the option under options.
I am an admin, but windows 7 has the additional option of right click/run as administrator. However since the un/re install tool starts the reinstall automatically after the reboot could not use if wanted. Since it is running 95 percent, doubt that is issue. I would just assume it is a GUI issue, but must admit odd no one but me is seeing.
Sigh....to make things worse, 3048,3 errors are back

My usual response to those errors is to wait it out. It is usually a temporary server issue, or an issue with any one of the internet servers between your system and the LiveUpdate servers.
If it persists for more than a day, you need to dig deeper.
That is my approach. However a giant error popup slamming across my screen at random times is not appreciated. A little message buble would make more sense.
Thanks for your help, JohnOzuk. Our team has determined the cause, and is testing a fix for the issue. The fix will be included in a future update.
Great, are you allowed to give any explanation to the cause? I am most curious as to why Ia seem to be the only lucky one seeing this.
Do I need to remove the logging software, or is it harmless unless I choose to run it.
Hi JohnOzuk,
It might have to do with it being specific to the Best Buy version you were running.
Thanks,
I have asked this before and have never gotten an answer. So perhaps I am straying into politically incorrect areas. Is there any way, short of buying a new version I can divorce myself from best buy. I do not like their subscription requirements, and their close proximity to bankruptcy.
