NAV and WinMe
My one-year subscription to NAV's LiveUpdate has expired and I decided
to remove NAV 2005 from my computer and install McAfee. I now no longer appear to have a hang upon booting up the computer nor a hang when closing it down. I've been having to use the restart button and then waiting for Scandisk to clear things up before starting or closing WinMe. Is it possible that NAV has been the cause of these issues, which started about a year ago?? |

Is it possible that NAV has been the cause of these issues, which
started about a year ago?? Yes, plus 20 or more others that you have either yet to discover or forgotten to mention. g -- Mike Maltby richard kelly wrote: My one-year subscription to NAV's LiveUpdate has expired and I decided to remove NAV 2005 from my computer and install McAfee.

On second thought, I will say this.....gently, of course....grin. YES.....IT WAS MOST LIKELY THE CAUSE!!!! Glad to see you are rid of it....Norton and ME do not get along at ALL. Cheers.....Heather |

Have a look at FileList.xml and you will find there one of McAfee's big early mistakes that Microsoft had to help out with. The explicit exclusion of avconsol.ini from the state manager's embrace. About the last change made to SR during the Win Me beta and partly the result of my having McAfee installed on my test machine at the time. -- Mike |

You must be a newcomer here, Richard, or you would have known that *Norton* is frowned upon in this 'neck of the woods', simply because it is diametrically opposed to WinME, spelling nothing but trouble. You would be well advised to ask before using any of those important programs, to keep your computer *clean*, unless you are sure of their proper function. Harry. "richard kelly" wrote in message ...

No, I've been checking in here for quite a while. It was, in fact, Mike
Maltby's recurrent dark comments about Norton that got me persuaded to remove NAV instead of resubscribing. I'm glad I did. Thanks for all the feedback. This is a very helpful group. richard webster72n wrote: You must be a newcomer here, Richard, or you would have known that *Norton* is frowned upon in this 'neck of the woods', simply because it is diametrically opposed to WinME, spelling nothing but trouble.
