XP & SB Audigy & Norton Antivirus Problems

[Steve]

I'm having problems with all three products.

I have done a clean install of Windows XP Pro, and installed both the
original and updated Audigy 2 drivers, and latest Internet Security 2004.

Every now and then, after logging in I get the message that my registry has
been recovered from a backup. This usually causes Antivirus to stop running,
saying that it has been tampered with. On other occasions, the Audigy just
seems to forget that its installed, and I have to totally re-install the
sound drivers.

Sometimes, a system restore solves the problems, but doing 3 or 4 restores a
week seems a bit excessive to me.

All this seems to have occurred ever since I upgraded from an Athlon XP
2000+ to a Athlon XP 2700+, and from 512Mb to 1Gb RAM. I also have purchased
a maxtor drive with 8Mb Cache.

I was wondering if the large cache on the disk could be causing problems
with the machine shutting down before all data has been written back to
disk?

Any ideas/suggestions would be appreciated before I chuck the damn thing
outta the window.

TIA.
Steve.

Best trouble shooting method, start removing devices until
the problem goes away. I would start out by taking out
that drive and putting in your old one if you still have
it. If that doesn't work try taking out a device at a
time and running without it on a fresh install (no NAV)
until the errors don't come back. Then install NAV and
test it again to see if NAV is your problem.
