A system that has no physical problems (RAM checks out, HD checks out) refuses to cleanly install NAV.
The system appears to be virus free (scanned the drive by plugging it into a system with a clean OS).
3rd time this machine's been in in a month.
NAV seems to leave out the registry entry that allows the e-mail protection to start (a VxD).
4 hours of system tests and running through NAV uninstalls and re-installs.
(memtest86, manufacturer's hard drive diagnostics, NAV, WinDoc, ...)
The icing on the cake was when scanregw decides there's an error in the registry, and 'doze must reboot in order to effect a repair. (just results in a reboot loop, the 'repair' doesn't seem to happen, and WinDoc declares the registry is free of errors).
So I disabled the scanregw startup item, and noted that if it fails again, it'll have to be 3-R'ed.
*sigh* |
