254968 2004-07-24 05:28:00 I can download Symantic Redirector: Program Updates 1633.6KB, but for some reason it refuses to install. I have closed all running programs with success. I am running Win 98 SE2. This is the first time I have experienced this fault. Has anyone found the same and/os has a solution. Roly Duff (5149)

254970 2004-07-24 10:47:00 Hi Roly,
So it happened to you too! I tried downloading it twice last week but got the same message both times. I have ME.
Did you get it sorted & if so how?

254971 2004-07-26 03:49:00 Thanks Johnboy,
I have selected your second link and worked my way through the Registry to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Sustem...................\Files ystem.
There is no NtfsDisable8dotName Creation to Alter to zero. There is DisableLowDiskSpaceBroadcast with a value of 0x00000000 (0) which refuses to modify. Is this the same as NTFS etc or should I look elsewhere?
Thanks for your help,
Roly

254972 2004-07-26 04:17:00 Did you try the fix described in the 2nd link by going to microsoft and getting a new Windows Root Certificates and seeing if that works??
did you see these pages on the symantic site

254973 2004-07-27 02:56:00 Did as per your last suggestion and it worked

Thanks Johnboy

254974 2004-07-27 03:02:00 Yes I got it sorted by following Johnboy's latest suggestion. First you must update Windows Root Certificates under Windows Update. These are not a critical update, so you might have to search a bit. Then follow either of Johnboy's latest links and follow NAV's instructions. They are really quite straightforward. Good luck.

254975 2004-07-27 11:12:00 Why would you pay $40 per year to use a utility which doesn't (in my experience) work as well as a free ware anti virus program downloadable from the net? robc (2685)
254976 2004-07-31 00:10:00 Yes, I wonder why too except that NAV stacks up very well in consumer tests. Actually I use Norton Internet Security which does much more than check for viruses. Are there similar programmes as this, available free on the web? Roly Duff (5149)

Use an isp that tags spam.

Norton products are rubbish,They slow down the system,throw up a boatload of incompatabilites,are unreliable,Can kill a system just trying to uninstall it,and are loaded with bells and whistles that do everything poorly.
