1) ZAnwar - if in fact I did offend you, please accept my apology - that certainly was not my intent.

2) Kermit - you might want to look back at the first page of this thread and note at what point you decided to act like a jerk rather than simply point out my obvious mistake like the gentleman you no doubt are.

3) I never try to make people look stupid. Most times, it simply isn't necessary - wouldn't you agree?

Can I just butt in and clear a few things up? Okay, here goes.

1. There is a patch for NAV 2001.

2. You have to do a clean reinstall of NAV 2001 to use it.

3. We are talking about AntiVirus, not SystemWorks!

4. We are talking about NAV 2001, not NAV 2002!

5. I don't have to concern myself with this. I have 2002.

ModestCargo - right. I'm the one who fouled this up. I responded to the Post Subject rather than thoroughly reading the post itself - my fault. But I think your (completely valid) points were eventually made and agreed to. Still, after all the other stuff that's gone on here I guess it's good that you recapped.

When I try to install it. It says the product needs to be run in Win 95 or 98 ?

 

[ModestCargo]

Try running it in compatibility mode for Windows 98. If this doesn't work, bear in mind that I'm only 13, and I'm no genius.

 

[ZAnwar]

I TRIED IT IN COMPATABILITY MODE> WIN2000,98,ME,95.

Nothing WORKS !

PLEASE KERMIT CAN YOU HELP ME !!!!!!!

 

[ZAnwar]
