Hello,
since the beginning of this year i'm trying to install NIS2009 on my computer.
(http://community.norton.com/norton/board/message?board.id=nis_feedback&thread.id=39458)
I'm not going to repeat all the mess i've been through so that thread will show some questions i allready asked but it had never a solution at hand..
Now after testing my whole system, changing ram, drives, etc, configuring bios as it should need to be ..
I'm coming to this conclusion:
Any SATA drives in my computer with win XP or VISTA on it + NIS2009 = system hangup.. In vista NIS2009 can be installed but it will never load and makes vista very very unstable.
Now, any IDE drive with win XP or VISTA + NIS2009 = Excellent!
I'm reminding you that every fresh install has got the latest updates, even the nforce chipset has the latest drivers installed.
My question for you is: Is it Norton(NIS2009-360) that can't work with that chipset/motherboard/driver or is something wrong with my chipset/motherboard/sata driver??
I have to say when it's a fresh install, and i don't install norton at all, i don't have any problems with the sata drives, not with any software as far as i can tell.
I hope after all those months of fresh installs, hardware switching etc... Someone can give me an answer to my problem
Regards
