Problem appeared to be NAV 2004. I was experiencing sluggish performance and
long delays. Scanned with NAV and ADware & SpyBot S&D. Didn't find anything.
NAV disabled itself (red X through icon on task bar). Finally got a warning
screen that the trial period had expired??!! So I tried to remove &
reinstall. Used Windows Programs Add/Remove. No go. Wouldn't work. So I
deleted all instances of NAV & Symantec in registry using Regedit, and all
files in system folders and program folders. System now boots faster and
when it runs, runs faster. Having a problem with reboot -- on
Start>Shutdown, it appears normal, but ends in a blue screen with no error
message instead of Power Off.
Tried to do a system restore to several points a week to two weeks before
and no luck... won't restore. Was going to try a Repair with original CD,
but realized that SP-1 and 2 will cause problems because they're not on the
original disk. 8={...
What I'm most concerned with is when I look at Task Manager in Win XP is
that the number of handles is continuously increasing (now over 14100) ,
while number of threads and processes is steady and the system cache is up
over 340000!! At some point the system will crash. How can I reset the
cache?
I note that the thread ntkrnlpa.exe and ACPI.sys are quite active and keep
replicating. This may be the reason for the numbers I've noted in Task
Manager, but I don't know what to do with them.
My next step is to reinstall NAV. Any suggestions?
The system consists of a Tyan motherboard, AMD Opeteron 240 CPU, 4 Gb RAM,
WinXP SP2 and a host of programs. I'm also running Zone Alarm.
