Hello. I hope someone can help me out.

I currently have NAV 2004 Professional installed on my older, Windows ME computer (with 128 lousy MB of RAM). I'm getting the pop-up that I need to update. Should I get NAV 2005? I would just update or whatever, but I am not too keen on giving credit card info over the computer ( ). I've heard horror stories about NAV 2005 and thought you all would know best.

Also, since I am here and it is semi-related, how hard is it to install more RAM? I'm not too computer smart... could I do it?

Thanks.Well, honestly, spending money on the latest Norton would be a waste... You are only once year behind now... Wait another year or TWO... Otherwise, you spend a lot of money every year on antivirus software... Now, renewing your license so that you can continue to update your virus definitions is a MUST.. No now software involved, just protections... When it comes down to it, all that Norton does with its new products every year is make it more STABLE and make a better GUI (graphical user interface)... Nothing else is new... Just wait a while

[GLB]Flame[/glb]Sorry! Forrgot about the second part... lol Installing RAM is actually the SAFEST and EASIEST upgrade that a computer user can complete (as far as hardware). All you have to do is make sure that you have the right tyep of RAM, and that you do not exceed your maximum amount of RAM. That's all!

[glb]Flame[/glb]KEEP these 3 factors in mind before and while installing (Additional) RAM

1. RAM is very sensitive to ESD.
-- To learn more regarding ESD see this article.
2. Other hardware, such as Hard Disk Drives and IDE cables, might be making it difficult to install more RAM if you have a normal ATX case.
3. If there is not enough space to work in, you will have to exert quite a considerable amount of force on the RAM stick, which will result in additional pressure on the mainboard. If the mainboard is not properly fastened, damage due to pressure may occur.


But don't worry! It's very easy for most! Also make sure that you ground the electricity from youre body before touching any components. You can do this by touching the INNER METAL FRAME of your computer.

[glb]Flame[/glb] Thanks so much everyone. You were all very helpful and reassuring.

I have one more question: Where and how do I renew my subcription?On http://www.symantec.com.

I believe it is possible to do it through Norton as well.If it has expired, try running a Live Update. Norton will tell you to resubscribe. Just click on the link that it gives you to renew your subscription...
