    Hi,
    I have Norton systemworks 2003, and I cant get auto protect to stay on. Ive marked it in options, but then when i come back to options, its always unmarked. When I hit 1 button check-up, it always gets the error "auto protect disabled" it repairs it, but when i re-scan... samething

    Hi,

    I'm having this same problem!



    However, my problem has a "runtime error" with it and at load up I get "could not find configuration files" and "unable to initialize the exclusion database"


    What was the thing you marked in msconfig by chance........?

    click on the link above, it'll show you what all has to do with NAV in msconfig. but if your getting a runtime error, I would try reinstalling... Maybe even uninstall completely, then reinstall

    Hope it helps

    Are you using the same version: Norton systemworks 2003, and is it with the Antivirus?


    The error messages that you're getting: Is that the full wording? If not, can you post them.

    That link is identical to the one I posted. I thought you mentioned RunTime errors.

    When they popup, can you post it. For example:

    Microsoft Visual C++ Runtime Library
    Runtime Error
    Program ..\COMMON FILES\SYMANTEC SHARED\SCRIPT BLOCKING\SBSERV.EXE


    As for the configuration files error, can you post the full message, as there are a few it may be, eg:

    Error: "Unable to read configuration files..." or "Unable to read Norton AntiVirus configuration files..." during startup when running Norton AntiVirus

    The same with the other error would be great.

    okay, this is the error:


    Runtime Error!
    Program: C:\ProgramFiles\commonfiles\symantecshared\ccapp.exe

    R6205

    -purevirtual function call



    I get this when I have the systemworks properly installed. But the Anti Virus won't work.


    I know I have the ccapp.exe checked for startup.

    Okay

    Take a look at this:

    Error: "Runtime Error!...C:\Program Files\Common Files\Symantec Shared\<File name>...R6025 - Pure virtual function call"


    So, see if the document can help, and you may want to bookmark that link, to see if it gets updated.

    nope, unforuntately that didn't help. :( :( :(



    I actually tried that last sunday night. I did the steps in the wrong order and then couldn't figure out how to get the comp back to normal mode, until monday morning when I finally figured it out.


    I just got the runtime error again, and its still with the CCAPP.exe.


    Maybe its because I installed NAV and System works both together?


    Maybe if I just install System works MINUS AV and then Add the AV?


    THis is very frustrating. i may just have to talk the comp into the shop to be checked.

    That may work, but as quoted above, they (Symantec) can't get the error that you're getting, so it may be a case of when the document gets updated, you'll have more of an answer.
