I finally got norton anti-virus for windows 2000, everything worked fine for a while, but now when i startup my computer i get this stupid error message that says "NAVNT autostart"=SYMEVENT could not load (or something around that). The result is a stupid error message everytime i reboot, and NAV starts in disabled mode. What's wroing? The thing that changed it was, i think , when i ran LIVE update. Please, i need help with this

Given that Norton actually support their AV product on W2K, have you asked them? Or searched their FAQ/knowledgebase? or searched this forum for that matter..?
 
I use Norton, and I've used LiveUpdate, and it works fine...

NAV for Win2K is working great here too. In fact, I can back up personally what Yuppie said about Symantec getting their product to run with Win2K: I found a memory leak in NAV for Win2K (RC2 days) about three days after I bought it. I contacted Symantec and notified them of the problem with the memory leak and within two days, they released a program update that corrected the memory leak. To say the least, it restored my confidence in Symantec products.

Does anyone know if you can install NAV from win Norton System Works 2000 into win2k? It would suck if I had to buy another version.

To Mark W:
Norton Systemworks 2000 is a Win95/98 product. NAV2000 only works if you use the NT/WIN2000 version. Contact Symatec to see if you can get a upgrade purchase.
