Broken Norton 2006 uninstall - what to do ?


I want to remove Norton 2006 on an XP/home system. A search of the
Symantec website for "norton 2006 uninstall" finds a page that says it
uninstalls like any other app, via control panel.

I'm on a retail Compaq system that has the factory installation of
XP/home. ControlPanel/users says that the user id, Compaq_Owner, has
administrator privilages,

When I try to uninstall Norton it does with messages about
insufficient privilages for lots of registry entries. I *did* stop
all the Norton and symantec processes that I could find, first.

Now I've got a system with broken Norton software.

Suggestions?
