NU14 not showing in taskbar and 'parameter is incorrect' warning when trying to run from start menu

Hello all

 

I'd be grateful if anyone could offer some advice on the following please?

 

I've installed Norton Internet Security (version 17.7.0.2) today, along with Norton Utilities 14.

 

I'm using Windows XP Professional SP3, with no other anti-virus software installed (I was previously using Kaspersky).

 

NIS appears to be working fine. However, I can't access NU14. There is no NU icon in the system tray, although task manager reports the nu.exe process is running.

 

When I try to start NU from the start menu or desktop icon I get the following error, and NU fails to start.

 

 6673iE10820CE9BD301A2

 

All attempts to start NU14 from the start menu or desktop icon are resulting in the following report in NIS.
