here is a tricky one... I have a friend to came to me for help, he was trying to get a old game to work and ran into this error. However this error also seems to have appeared before when other programs were being installed. I scanned his drive and he appears to have some unsigned drivers for his printer, is that the problem? Can you help me??

ERROR BELOW:

16 bit windows subsystem
virtual device driver failed Dll initialization.
C:\PROGRA~1\symantec\s32EVNT1.Dll

There is nothing in the error message indicating printer trouble. It's plainly states you have a problem with your Symantec product. Try reinstalling it to see if the eliminates the error message. A way to check would be to uninstall and then reboot. If the error message doesn't appear you know the problem is with the Symantec product.

Thanks
