    Same problem, it wouldn't turn on after OneCare installed an update and I restarted computer as requested. This all happened yesterday afternoon. 9-25. I've run the Clean-up toll twice to no avail. So now I'm at the uninstal and reinstal section. I need someone to reassure me. I'm a bit nervous about doing this type of stuff.

The instructions should be given as you go through the process. The process I've written the steps for should be good even of novice users.

    Phil,

     

    Yes, good luck. Do post back if support is not able to assist you. I think they'll take good care of you though. I've read some posts from people here in the forums who say that support is very helpful.
