Since installing Norton AV 2006 and SystemWorks 2006. My wife's system will
not go into standby. I am writing here because Symantec has not responded. I
have disabled NetDetect - no change. I understand that DRMC should be left
enabled. True?

Running XP Home with all updates.

My system with Norton 2006 Premier works fine.
 
uninstall norton systemworks it sucks man it will cost you to much
trouble.i'm a victim of systemworks too.but be carefull to uninstall when you
made a mistake it will delete all your files
 
Well, Bong - It doesn't suck as you say. I have used Norton products for many
years without any difficulties. And as far as deleting all your files - don't
think so. If that is what it supposedly did to you, then you had a lot more
problems than a Symantec product! I have a Creative Audigy card and have not
had any problems with it either.

Advise NOT taken!
 
Sound like a great solution :p

Uninstall is not a solution. I like to find a remedy. Wouldn't want to cut
off your whole arm because you have a hang-nail, would you?

Well, if you are so sure, that Norton did not cause the problem, why
did you mention it in the first place?
As far as I am concerned, I would not use it if they paid me.

Personally i'd rather have a hang-nail than a norton product.
 
I did not say that Norton may not be the cuprit. It is not such a GREAT
problem that it is worth removing all the other benefits. Sometimes it is a
reg setting, or Services setting that needs to be changed to correct a
problem. But each is entitled to their opinion. Have a nice day!
 
If you would bother to search these newsgroups you would find many an answer
to a problem like yours: Uninstall Norton (or Symantec) and DO NOT USE.
Period.
 
The last time I used NSW 2003 it had NAV capabilities included.. Why would
you install NAV 2006 separately, wasn't it included with NSW 2006..?
I remember updating my NSW 2003 with NAV 2004 stand alone.. I was able to
integrate it into NSW during installation, if I remember correctly..
Now I just use NIS and thats it, works fine, never had a virus on this
system of 3 years.. NIS was included/bundled with the boxed Intel mobo I used
to build my system..

I have a similar but somewhat different issue. I'll describe. My system
drops into standby with no problem (either S1 or S3). I have virus scans
(NAV 2005) scheduled for 5 AM every morning. I'm using Win XP SP2 Pro,
this might make a difference. The scans are scheduled under an
administrative user login. Note, that user must be logged on at 5:00 AM
but not necessarily active or the scheduled scan will not run. After it
runs, an interactive screen is left on display for me when I login
later. Note, while my computer wakes up from standby, it will not
reenter standby until I log on as the admin and kill the interactive screen.


I suggest that, perhaps, the scan is scheduled under a different user
than you might think and that an interactive screen is awaiting you or
some such. If you figure out the problem, please let me know.

I have Norton 2006 and Symantec Corp Edition 10 on two laptops, both are
toshiba that suspend/resume worked perfectly on before the installation
of the AV solution and both work perfectly after installation.

If the laptop didn't suspend/resume before installation of the AV
product, it's not going to auto-magically fix itself when installing an
AV product.
 
If you have read all of the threads, you will find that most had advice to
uninstall. That was unacceptable to me. So, I continued to look for
solutions, both in the Newsgroups and other websites. I found a solution on
my own. Here goes!

In Services disable Norton Protection Center. In Power Options, change them,
and choose Never for Standby and Hibernate (even if you have a UPS), in
Norton AV turn off Automatic Live Update. Reboot. Now change back all the
settings that you just changed. Reboot. Don't know why it worked, but it did.
I am assuming that when the Symantec products installed that a setting(s)
was/were changed or corrupted in the registry not allowing the system to go
into Standby. By redoing the settings, the desired registry settings were
restored.

Anyway, this is what worked for me.

BTW - I had scanned for viruses, run 3 different spyware/malware programs,
and did a registry cleaning with RegClean and by hand, BEFORE posting. I have
yet to have a problem where MVP advice and/or persistence did not solve the
problem. Not including a program that may be lacking a feature, etc.

Have a great day! Thanks for the advice :))
