NAV 2004 slow opening in WinXP

[Bod29]

Hi all,

I've got a strange problem with a standalone XP machine (sp1a) that I have installed NAV 2004 on...

I installed XP from scratch and theres not much running on it so it was flying along quite happily. Once I had installed NAV, it would re-boot OK, but take ages to load the local profile.

On closer look, nothing on the desktop or start menu could be opened until the NAV icon appeared in the system tray, which takes up to a couple of minutes. Uninstalling NAV, restored the PC to normal speed, and re-install slowed it up again as before.

All the NAV settings are defaults, but I can't understand why it's not working properly, I've got NIS 2004 on another machine using the same build as the XP machine in question, and it works fine.

I've tried Symantec, but haven't had a response yet <shock>

Any suggestions or opinions much appreciated !!!

have a good day

cheers
Roddy

Welcome, join millions of of unhappy users of systemworks 2004. Symantecs is having lots of problems that I am sure they are working on. When symantecs has users alter there registries to make their software work you know this product was not ready for sale. Go back to an older version or wait for fix.

I had a similar problem with NAV2003 - took as long as 2 minutes for my 2.3 Ghz WinXP machine to boot. Cured the problem by disabling Live Update (it appeared to be searching for the Symantec server during the boot process). Then my PC booted consistently in 23 seconds. Give it a try and see if that fixes it!
