Scorbing Posted January 8, 2002 Share Posted January 8, 2002 Does anyone know where I can get a patch to make the NAV 2002 version I have compatible with XP? The smart idiots at Symantec released NAV 2002 on August which was compatible with all flavors of Windows, except XP, then on September they released the XP version, but guess what? NO PATCH for those of us who bought it back in August! Smart ah! What do they expect? That we buy it again? - I don't think so. I have been looking for a patch but cannot seem to find it on their web site. Maybe I am looking on the wrong spot. If anyone knows of such a patch, PLEASE let us know. BTW: Nice going Symantec. That was very smart. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Current File Name: C:WINNTSystem32Comctl32.dll New File Name: C:WINNTSystem32comctl32.bak To fix the Comctl32.dll rename error: 1) From Windows Explorer, access the following directory: winntsystem32 2) Right-click the following file: comctl32.bak Select Rename 3) Type the following as the new name for the file: comctl32.old 4) Run the Norton AntiVirus install program (setup.exe) again. ....................... ....................... Dynamic Volumes on Windows 2000 ------------------------------- Norton AntiVirus does not fully support Dynamic Volumes. Scanning these drives might result in the error message "Unable to read boot record on drive." This is because these drives are not bootable. However Norton AntiVirus will scan the drive for infected files. MO drive incompatibility with Norton AntiVirus ---------------------------------------------- When Norton AntiVirus scans certain MO drives such as the Olympus Turbo MO 640S III, you may experience a system crash when scanning your hard drive. To correct the problem you are required to Disable Int 13 support for the drive. To disable Int 13 support: 1 Click Start, Settings, Control Panel. 2 Double-click on the System icon. 3 In the System Properties dialog box, click Device Manager. 4 Ensure "View devices by type" is selected. 5 In the device list, expand Disk drives. 6 Double-click the disk drive item defining your MO drive. (For example, OLYMPUS MOS364) 7 Click the Settings tab. 8 On the settings panel, uncheck the box next to Int 13 unit. (This disables Int 13 support for the drive) 9 Click OK to close the MO drive's Property Settings dialog. 10 Click OK to close the System Properties dialog. 11 Click Yes when prompted to restart your computer. Script Blocking not enabled when scripting is not present --------------------------------------------------------- The Script Blocking Options appear to be active even when you don't have scripting enabled on your computer. These options do not take effect unless scripting is enabled. If you have not enabled scripting, your computer is not vulnerable to scripting threats. Short File Name (SFN) alias generation during install ----------------------------------------------------- If you are installing Norton AntiVirus to a custom location that is a Long File Name (LFN) folder, SFN alias generation must not be disabled during the install. To re-enable SFN alias generation, run REGEDT32 and change the following registry key entry: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESYSTEMCurrentControlSetControlFileSystem NtfsDisable8dot3NameCreation should be set to 0 to enable SFN alias generation. You must restart your computer in order for changes in SFN alias generation to take effect. Set the value back to 1 after installation to disable SFN alias generation, if desired. Turn off Script Blocking when developing scripts ------------------------------------------------ If you are developing or debugging scripts, we recommend that you disable the Enable Script Blocking option. Otherwise, this feature might block the script that you are developing or testing. Uninstall Beta versions of Norton AntiVirus ------------------------------------------- If you tested a Beta version of Norton AntiVirus, uninstall the Beta before installing the release version. This removes unneeded files that would otherwise remain on your disk and prevents problems that could arise due to changed file formats. Uninstalling LiveReg or LiveUpdate ---------------------------------- Because LiveReg and LiveUpdate are shared by several Symantec products, it is not uninstalled automatically if you select Uninstall Norton AntiVirus. Do not uninstall these components if there is any other Symantec software installed on your system. To uninstall LiveReg or LiveUpdate , choose Add/Remove Programs from the Windows Control Panel and select LiveReg or LiveUpdate. Uninstalling Norton NT Tools ---------------------------- If Norton NT Tools is uninstalled after Norton AntiVirus is installed, the shared file S32STAT.DLL is removed. Reinstall Norton AntiVirus to correct the problem. Updating Windows 98/Me video drivers for Auto-Protect ----------------------------------------------------- Some versions of Windows 98/Me video drivers cause display corruption or an apparent system lock up when an Auto-Protect alert is generated. To correct the problem, upgrade to the latest version of the video driver. Upgrading to Windows NT, Windows 2000 or Windows XP --------------------------------------------------- Uninstall Norton AntiVirus before installing Windows NT, Windows 2000 or Windows XP on your computer. Reinstall Norton AntiVirus after the new operating system is installed. Using Netscape with Norton AntiVirus ------------------------------------ If Norton AntiVirus is installed as a Netscape helper application, a downloaded file will be lost if Netscape is closed before the download is complete. Using Norton AntiVirus with directory symbolic links/NTFS junctions --------------------------------------------------------- Using directory symbolic links, also known as NTFS junctions, on Windows NT4, Windows 2000 or Windows XP machines may increase hard drive scanning times due to repeat scanning. ----------------------------------------------------- Because Norton AntiVirus is a system-level application, when running LiveUpdate under Windows NT, Windows 2000 or Windows XP, you must log in as the same user with administrative rights as when you installed Norton AntiVirus. When logged in without administrative rights, Norton AntiVirus will always consider your virus definition service out of date. ....................... ........................ ******************************************************** END OF FILE ******************************************************** Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
