What is more important is what does Win Me tell you? NSW is little more than
a commercial virus causing more problems than it ever solves. Without having
any details as to any problems you might be experiencing one way of solving
your problem would be to uninstall/ignore System Not Works.

Since you are unlikely to know if the System Works error reports are
true, false positives, or simply erroneous,
I recommend booting using an EBD and running scanreg /opt / fix , to
repair any registry errors.
Note: This can be done in a DOS box, but I recommend using the EBD.

Command-Line Switches for the Registry Checker Tool

N.B. MS has still not corrected the recognized error of the switch
order in the KB article, after four years.
Please use the order "scanreg /opt / fix" .

Stop using Norton System Works.

That will eliminate the "errors" and improve the overall performance
and reliability of your computer.

Good luck

It's probably telling you that you have AOL installed - NSW could never cope
with it.
