I am running Winxp sp2 and have just changed from the trial version of Norton antivirus 2005 to Macafee v 8.01 (My work has a site license, which covers home use. We are a university...:>))..

Anyway, I have been getting this error when running certain programs since the change:

"Progra~1\symantec\S32EVNT.DLL. An installable virtual device driver failed DLL instialization. Choose close to terminate the application" box with choice to CLOSE/IGNORE.

If I choose ignore, the application works fine; if I choose close, the application does not open.

I know this has something to do with the uninstallation of NAV2005 because if I uninstall Mcafee, and reinstall NAV, the problem goes away.

Is there more to removing NAV than running the uninstall program?

Any insite would be greatly appreciated....

Bill

used to require extensive registry lobotomy. The two do not play well together...
