Installing NAV 2005, for one.

Installing NAV 2005 w/out having first fully uninstalled NAV 2002, for
another.

Perhaps when he "upgraded," he meant that he trundled along to Symantec and
collected the various removal tools, (I find that I need to run about three
of them to free Windows from a Norton abomination ...i mean installation!),
so that the next Norton install goes swimmingly ! !
....in which case your second point could be wrong.

There's no mention of a firewall or indication of internet security
awareness - so there could be all sorts of nasties in there !

.....why was I bothering to respond to this post ? ....aaah ! I know ...to
comment that Pa Bear doesn't seem to be being very helpful on this one :-)

regards, Richard

Did you use Rnav2003.exe removal tool as well?

Have you tried reinstalling NAV 2002 and seeing if the problems persist?
