Norton Ghost 9
Can anyone give me any pros or cons on Norton Ghost 9? I can't get the
program to restore a backup. Contacted Symantec and received nothing that would help me. Any help w/b appreciated. -- Lavert Bryant Powder Springs GA -- ---------------------------------------------------- This mailbox protected from unsolicited email by Spam X-terminator from StompSoft http://www.stompsoft.com |

Norton Ghost 9
The latest version of Norton Ghost is now Drive Image.
If Norton Ghost 9 is the latest version, when you do your backup be sure to check the box on the last screen in the backup process that says "Verify Backup Image After Creation" If your backup file does not "Verify" you will not be able to use it for a restore. You will not know this until you go to do a restore. That is why it is important to do the "Verify" at the time you backup. You might want to do a Ghost backup again and request the "Verify" and see what happens, if you didn't do this the first time. "Lavert" wrote in message ...

Your opinion is noted but I like Norton/Symantec products. The 2005 version
of Internet Security is great, it automatically configures it self for networks access. Good firewall, good anti virus, good spam program. I think they are great. wrote in message ...

The other possibility is that the version of Norton Ghost 9 that you
have is not compatible with the DVD drive you have. The part of Ghost that talks to the drive is actually supplied by a company called Gear. Click on the link below (or cut and paste it into your browser) to download the latest recorder configuration files available from GEAR Softwa ftp://downloads.gearsoftware.com/upd...rs/GEARwrks351 Then do a find and replace on your computer to update the old files. If, after updating your configuration files. That is worth a try if for no other reason than to update your version to the latest one.

Norton is truly a total waste of money Since this subject came up...I used Norton for about five years on three different computers and had a lot of trouble with it...so when I got my current computer I asked for McAfee. The big problem I've had with McAfee is that all of the screens the program draws truncate the bottom portion, namely the buttons to click on to take any action. I checked with their support people and was given a list of changes to my font size, themes, etc. to fix the problem. I've followed all of their suggestions, normal size fonts, windows classic theme, even played with screen resolutions that made the fonts so small I could hardly see them to change them back. Nothing made any difference. Of yeah, I also set the color scheme to 16 bit as I was told that might make a difference. On the desktop/display properties/settings/advanced tab I have "normal size" 96 dpi fonts selected. My normal screen resolution is 800x600. It's hard for me to believe that this problem is so rare that it took McAfee support over half an hour to come up with any suggestions at all, and none of them help. When the basic one year subscription is over I would like to try yet a third "anti-virus" software. I must admit I haven't tried Norton with XP, just Win95 and WinME. It gave me fits on both of those platforms. Any suggestions? Larry Davis |
