60841 2002-07-08 21:41:00 I'm using Win XP Home and occasionally when I go to close the Norton AV system status screen it doesn't close and I have to use the task manager and End Now function.

Is this a known problem that there is a patch for or what?

60844 2002-07-10 08:36:00 when u say occasioanlly u mean that it works most of the time, it might have to do with ur mouse or keyboard, wot type of conection do they have? i also read that a virus can also induce this effect, sorry i can't help any more.

cheers,

60845 2002-07-10 08:47:00 I tried reinstalling it with no luck.
It happens probably about 1/3 of the time, not really a big issue since I hardly ever open the anti virus control panel but just something I would like to get fixed if possible. Any body out there know?

60846 2002-07-10 09:03:00 it might also have to do with howmuch ur using ur systems resources, because programs can hang due to over useage of resources. try to run little as possible as u can when u open norton, or just typen in msconfig in the "run" box to choose wot runs when u start up ur pc.
hope that helped

cheers,

60847 2002-07-10 09:08:00 Hi sam - hey its not n.a.v 2001 is it? Reason being they were supposedly not compatible - we got 2001 with our new puter and had that prob and later found supposedly they weren't compatible - I mean nav wasn't with xp. There was a patch on the windows update i remember - but we just went on to nav 2002. Hope that may help!
I was just thinking of you in regard to another ME prob, i am sure you are the one that advises/helps me with my rellies ME probs! Or am i thinking of Sam M??? Maybe cause you are using xp !! :-)
