I went to "MSCONFIG" and a program that needs to be there to operate properly, is not there. I don't see a way to add a program.
I went to services.msc. And the program is listed as STARTED and under startup item, it says AUTOMATIC.
So how do I get it into "MSCONFIG" on the startup menu ??

Renjith: To get into the Safe mode, as the computer is booting press and hold your "F8 Key" which should bring up the "Windows Advanced Options Menu" as shown below. Use your arrow keys to move to "Safe Mode" and press your Enter key.[End quote]

2012-05-03T11:04:09+00:00 That's odd - I just downloaded it from that link, and it does not need access to the servers to be able to run.
[edit = I just tried to run the download on two machines, and it failed to run properly! since it ws dated 25th Feb, it may have expired. I find this fairly typical of Norton's abilties]
Their 'tech' assist used to know what they were doing, lately I have run across MANY who have no idea what they are doing.
I normally refuse to give them access to my computer. I have them walk me through what they think will fix the error.
Even their supervisors have no idea what they are doing, lately. They keep telling me the problem is that windows7 startup is not working properly and I need to reinstall windows7.
NUTS.
