Visual Studio and Norton Anti-Virus
-
I have been having problems with visual studio being unable to save files correctly (keeps coming up with 'Another application is using the file') and have found the problem seems to be due to having Norton Utilities installed. I have tried disabling NAVs auto protect, but nothing short of uninstalling Norton Utilities seems to help. Has anyone got any ideas how to resolve this? (I'm running Windows 2000, VS6 and Norton Systemworks 2002, on my WinXP system this seems to be less of a problem, but still occurs occasionally). Thanks... Blade[DMS]

I have had compatibility problems between VS .NET and Zone Alarm firewall on an XP professional. And while I was searching the web for similar issues, I found that a lot of people have trouble with VS .NET and Norton Anti-Virus. I guess in your case it's VS 6 rather than VS .NET, but still the incopatibility might exist. Regards Nish

Same here, but I don't much care. I can Ctrl-S again :) Philip Patrick Web-site: www.stpworks.com "Two beer or not two beer?" Shakesbeer Need Web-based database administrator? You already have it!

Unfortunatly, on some occasions visual studio loses files when doing classwizard operations... (you have to dig into the temp directory to recover them) and I get rather ...annoyed... when every time I hit build I get a requester saying 'unable to save file'... (And our system admin is a little reluctant to allow us to run without a virus checker installed...) Thanks for replying tho... Blade[DMS]

I can't run Norton Or McAfee on my Visual Studio 6 PC. Norton keeps me from saving files all the time and blows up MSDev often. McAfee makes compiled so slow I can't stand it. However, disabling the auto-protect works for me.
