Forget NAV 2007

XP w/SP2 here. My NAV2004 was indicating buying another year's worth of
subscription for virus definition updates OR "updating" to NAV 2007. Check
system requirements, good to go. No warnings about other software already
installed. Not taking any chances on a botched download, I got the new NAV
on CD retail. Stripped out NAV 2004 with the symantec tool for it after the
remove program was completed and rebooted.

First problem, the installation said ZoneAlarm not compatible with the
product. Have last ZA Pro 6 with another year of subscription from them.
I'll send NAV back, but let's see what happens. Removed ZA, rebooted, and
install NAV 2007. Seemed uneventful. All seemed work fine in NAV.

Decided to play abit. Opened Age of Empires III. Message popped up "MSXML
4.0 is not installed correctly. It is required to run the game."
Uninstalled it, reinstalled, rebooted, no workie, same thing. Saw the KB on
this problem, which did not exist before installing NAV 2007.

Tried all the programs in Office 2K, good there. All else worked until I
tried to open DriveImage 7.0 (worked fine before installing NAV 2007).
Didn't write the message down but said something to the effect of a CLSID#
something could not be found. Deinstalled. Rebooted, clean installed DI
7.0 It worked until the image was finished storing. Message said the image
file was corrupted internally. Never seen this before. Repeated with same
results. This, I consider malicious as Symantec software writers are basing
their last two versions of Ghost on this version of DriveImage.

So here I was. My paid for firewall with another's year worth of
subscription not usable. My favorite game is broke. And, can't image my
hard drive. I recovered with an image restoration of my XP partition using
DI's boot CD. Thank you Symantec Corporation. No, this is not a Norton
bashing post. Just heads up for others regarding the issues I've run into.

I learned my lesson with last years version, of breaking my access to windows
update. their removal software also causes problems.

Try AntiVir or AVG. They are free, they do a good job, and they don't
interfere with other programs.
