Hi Ronald,
You have found the two files for which BUILTIN\Users:R is required in
c:\windows\system32.
DO NOT COPY THE OTHER FILES of the same name - they are different file
versions.
Change the permissions for the two files in c:\windows\system32 folder
as follows:-
Firstly repeat what you did before but one file at a time ie
Click Run
enter "cmd" (no quotes) and enter, then in the Command window
>cd\
>cd windows\system32
>cacls msvcp71.dll
If it does NOT list a permission BUILTIN\Users:R
Then
>cacls msvcp71.dll /E /G BUILTIN\Users:R
Do not miss out the spaces
You should get a "... processed" message on screen.
Repeat the command to verify this
>cacls msvcp71.dll
If it shews the correct permissions, do the same for the file
msvcr71.dll.
If it does not, then you screwed up somewhere.
I take no responsibility whatsoever for any undesireable consequences of
your actions.
good luck
Don

Hi Don
Really appreciate your help which was invaluable, as I might have eventually
copied and I suppose overwritten the other files!
After a restart, Norton fired up and all is well.
Thanks again.
Ron

Don,
I followed your instructions for changing the permissions on
msvcp71.dll and msvcr71.dll. I, too, was getting the error "failed
to initialize..." as other, and the same error code, all related to
Norton. When I made the change, I received the "processed" message
that you described. When I then logged into the limited (non
administrator) accounts (for my young sons) where I'd been receiving
the errors, Norton crashed upon login. It came me the standard "this
application has failed," the one that includes the option to notify
Microsoft. Norton AV still does not run, but instead of the initialize
error, I get a crash of "oscheck.exe." When I try to run NAV at that
point, I get a crash of "uiStub.exe." Any suggestions you have will be
much appreciated and thanks for your contributions to this group.

Hi I had this problem after downloading Norton Internet Security 'add on'
pack for parental controls. After much trawling of internet and frustrating
interactions with Symantec I found this solution which has worked perfectly
and I am not a very confident user. My system32 folder had these 2 files in
CAPS only (showed as MSVCR71.dll not msvcr71.dll etc ) so I updated these.
Thanks for the help.
