You must first uninstall NIS from add/remove programs, and then install it again, but this time, on drive D:

This is the only way to get NIS working on another drive. You can't simply move it, as the program won't allow you to move some files.

Vejdin,

 

Let's hope that drive D is an internal drive and not an external. Out of curiosity, would not NIS perform better when installed on the O/S drive?

cesibon,

 

What is the size of your C drive? On my system all of the Norton / Symantec folders take up only about 460MB.  If your C drive is that overloaded, why not move "static" items such as pictures, video, music, documents to your D drive to free up room on C? If you are that close to the limit on your C drive that 460MB is of concern, then perhaps that is why you are running very slow. I believe you should always allow approximately 25% free space as "headroom" on any drive for use of the Pagefile, MFT and the Defragmenter.

 

Just a thought.

 

Best wishes.
