Hugh,
1) I found that for some reason Norton seems to like the 512 Meg value -
when I ended up setting it to that value, that seemed to get rid of the
problem. BUT then I was using the SystemWorks package, and not the internet
security package.
2) With regard to Zone Alarm, after what I have seen with regard to version
3 and all the problems it seems to be causing, especially if you want to
get rid of the program, and after my own personal experience dealing with
the program on a friend's computer (thing never seemed to be able to keep
the settings I told to use - constantly, over and over and over again,
would ask the exact same questions about the same exact sites I had just
told how to handle), I finally totally gave up on the program (free version
is not going beyond the 2.6 version it would seem.) Since I and my friend
have both version of SystemSuite by OnTrack, which now includes a very
excellent firewall (they have licensed the personal version of Sygate's
Firewall,) I installed that and it works like a charm.
3) With regard to OnTrack, the SystemSuite package has many of the same
type of programs and utilities of Norton's SystemWorks, and works great. I
personally have not had the kind of problems with Norton that others seems
to experience, so I have it installed on my own system as well as OnTrack's
package - I use each with success. Since you have had the problems you have
in the past with Norton, you might want to look at getting the SystemSuite
package, and try for yourself how it works for you. The cost is quite good,
and includes a VERY nice feature of being able to recover files that in
many cases you thought you had lost forever - it is a personal version of
their commercial recovery services that OnTrack orginally was in business
doing (they bought Majenic, which was the original developers of the
SystemSuite package.)

A client of mine had the same error. After fiddling with memory settings,
performance issues, etc. I found, through Google, that Norton has
acknowledged that this is due to their latest upgrade and that a fix will
be
issued when they figure it out. I suggested to her that she disable
Norton's
firewall for now, and use the XP firewall. This solved the problem.
I have come to despise Norton products over the years because they seem to
cause so many errors. This may be due to unsophisticated users, but
software
just shouldn't be that hard to use. Check out Zone Alarm if you need a
firewall.

I have a question about virtual memory errors. My daughter is running
win-xp 256mb ram 40 gb hard drive Lots of room left. I just installed
norton firewall 2002 with no problems. Now when she shuts down the computer
she gets a error message.... your system is low on virtual memory and
windows is increasing page size etc. Windows control the virtual memory
which I think is set for over 380 . She has defragged regularly and only
gets the error message when she shuts down the computer and did not get the
message before I installed norton firewall. I run the same program with no
errors of this kind. Any information would be appreciated. Thanking
everyone in advance.
