Norton Antivirus -- Too Much Memory?

| Greetings all,
I have a friend who just installed a 512MB DIMM, bringing his system up to 756MB RAM... and now Norton Antivirus says it doesn't have enough system memory to run?! It doesn't seem like bad memory; everything else is peachy.
Symantec's site didn't have anything, nor did a web search. Before I send him off into tech support never-never land, has anyone seen this problem or can think of a solution? | |

| Nicole, have your friend uninstall and then reinstall Norton. I have seen that before and usually reinstalling it fixes the problem. Don't know why it does that though.

| I've never heard of that happening with Norton. I have seen a simular message twice with Outlook Express, but both were isolated insidents (restarted each PC and the prob never reapeared). My main PC has 512MB of RAM, and before I switched over to FreeBSD, I was running Norton in Win98 w/o any problems. | |

| Yeah, this sounds like a typical windows memory management problem.Reboot. | |

| My suggestion is under the assumption that the obvious choice of rebooting was tried first

| Thanks for the suggestions. I suggest that he uninstall and reinstall. He's pretty computer savvy, and wouldn't have asked for help with a problem unless he had at least rebooted. | |

| I had a similar problem with a K7V motherboard with 768 MB of Ram. Tell your friend that if he is he using his Norton to defrag his hard drive you can get this message. | |

| I believed Norton AV do need a lot of memory to run... |
