Do people just figure to come here and let us do their reference work for them??!?!?
 
They can't even take the time to check the vendor's own website, and then they come here and post before searching for an answer. Maybe it's because of what I'm about to do that they do this:
 
FrenchFC, you've got two problems:
 
One, NAV 5.0 was a product that was released in two versions - one for Win95/98 and one for Windows NT. So first, you have a product that won't even install on NT 4.0.
 
Secondly, Symantec has publicly announced that NAV 5.0 will not be made compatible for Windows 2000. Primarily, because they have released NAV 2000 that works just fine with Windows 2000.
 
So what do you do now? Either go buy NAV 2000 or go buy someone else's anti-virus product. And first check with the vendor to see if the product will work with Windows 2000.
 
And next time, http://www.symantec.com might be a better place to find answers to problems with Symantec questions - unless of course, you've already tried there....
 
Regards...
