i've ME with NAV03, and i agree with mike in that i can't
restore my puter to a point before the last liveupdate
session with new signature files, without the NAV refusing
to boot the puter. so i make it a point to create a
restore point after every LU session. no other problems
otherwise. by the way, i don't seem to have any TEMP
folder in C:\_RESTORE. the only ones are- VxDMoN.cfg,
DISKCFG, SRDISKID, and VxDMoN. do i've to do something
about this or let it be. tia. arvind

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.
