| 369376 | 2005-07-04 18:08:00 | I have read numerous posts in this forum saying that NAV is rubbish. It does this , It does that. It's a memory hog. How true are these statements? I have been useing NAV for the past 12 years and do not have a single complaint about it. As I am having a possible memory problem at the moment I stopped NAV from loading ,in Msconfig. It made absolutely no difference. Are there any GENUINE problems with NAV? |

| 369377 | 2005-07-04 21:30:00 | They are true. If you have not had any problems, good. But some people do. I find if its working, ok, well and good. It does slow older systems noticably. But, if it gets a problem, it often doesn't have one quietly to itself, it takes Windows with it. Check with Akld Unis IT dept - they have had exactly the same experiences and quite a few of the support staff there now hate it. |

| 369382 | 2005-07-05 04:21:00 | You obviously haven't been following Jack's Flight Sim saga, Rob. :pProbally not :p to you to :D I would shut down NAV if playing a flight Sim. I dont have any probs with Norton, not that I would ever have it on my computer, I make heaps of money by removing it. Common problem: "My new HP/Compac/Dell/etc is running slow, can you fix it?" The easy fix is to rid the machine of Norton and replace with Nod32, most of the time I stick in an extra 512Mb of ram too. Norton is a majior hog, you may not notice if you only use the computer for light tasks. |
