Norton Toolbar works on my laptop (HP Envy 17 - 3D), but not my desktop (Dell XPS 7100). Following are the basics of the operating environments and program versions.

Dell XPS 7100: AMD-chip; Windows 7, Home Premium w/ Service Pack 1; FF 4.0.1; Norton Internet Security 2011, v. 18.5.0.125.

HP Envy 17 - 3D: i7-chip; Windows 7, Home Premium w/ Service Pack 1; FF 4.0.1; Norton Internet Security 2011, v. 18.6.0.29.

I have run liveupdate every few minutes, but still the Norton Toolbar is not updated. When I check add-ons Norton Toolbar 5.5 is disabled; but my laptop add-ons shows Norton Toolbar 5.6, and IdSafe and SafeWeb are definitely present and working on the laptop.

I had the same problem. Solved by downloading latest update from Symantec and letting updater run. This does not require an uninstall of the current version but may require a reboot.
