    Platform: Architectural Desktop 2005

    2 releases ago, Autocad had a problem with Norton Anti-Virus. 2004 release
    had no difficulty with same. Now, with ADT2005 it appears that Norton System
    Works kills ADT features if one allows Norton to scan the registry. Autodesk
    knows about the conflict and is working to find a solution. The fix is easy
    but a simi royal pain ... just "Repair Registry" in *Add/Remove Programs *
    Change*. Wouldn't it be nice if Adesk folks would inform us of known
    problems like this!?

    Has anyone expreienced the problem with standard AutoCAD 2005 or am I just
    "lucky"?

  2. Hi George,

    one possible solution might be to deinstall (if ever possible) the
    NAV-Software.

    It is not the anti-virus this time. It is registry scan when one is checking
    for windows problems. There will be a fix in the future, for now I have
    disabled the registry scan. I wanted to know if "plain" Acad '05 has the
    same problem.

    I have Norton System Works 2004 and AutoCAD 2005 Full. No problems with
    missing features, or any for that matter.

    Looks like the seek & destroy dll files Norton's registry scan is looking
    for may be limited to Architectural Desktop.
