" ... but that version of NAV is not compatible with ME, according to
symantec."

Quite a few of use here believe, or nearly believe, that no Norton product
is compatible with WinME, ... NAV, in particular.
I use NAV Pro 2004 on this WinME test bed without any significant problem,
except the necessity to uninstall and reinstall it if I revert to a SR
checkpoint prior to the last signature update or NAV core sytem upgrade.

I cannnot, in good faith, recommend NAV to any casual WinME user anymore.
And others have had problems with Symantec's Live Update tool, used by many
of their products.

Eg., as I write, Process Explorer reports that five Symantec modules are
executing just to support NAV 2004. This is a significant footprint.

H Dellboy,

I too had a SoundBlaster PCI128 card which behaved erratically. After
much hair pulling and gnashing of teeth, it turned out to be the
Norton AV Ver 4 I was using. It was a Win95/98 version which simply
was NOT compatible with WinME. WinME is NOT Win9x.


? WinME is most definitely Win9x.

Was your Norton specifically for 95/98 or did it say 9x ?

Rarely do I correct anyone hereabouts, but that version of NAV is not
compatible with ME, according to symantec. I had to dump system works on a
number of systems...and I wasn't foolish enough to use the quack.
