You are the resident guru for System Restore and I was not aware that
there were issues with WindowsMe and Live Update prior to NAV2004.

I have a client that ran several WindowsMe machines with NAV2002 for a
couple of years with no issues. We have recently upgraded these
machines by installing more RAM and going to XP Pro.

Ron,

Issues yes, but not everyone is affected. LiveUpdate seems to be one of
the vectors that can cause the C:\_RESTORE\TEMP folder to bloat and the
state manager to stop analysing and either cabbing or discarding the files
temporarily stored there but what the precise trigger is I have never
managed to determine.

One reason though why I have never recommended the use of any version of
NAV with Win Me is that if a user rolls their system back to before the
last NAV signature update NAV gets broken because for some inexplicable
reason NAV stores signature version details in the registry. I suspect
that using scanreg /restore could cause similar problems.

Cheers,
