SYMPTOMS
After you install Norton Antivirus version 2.0, you may receive the
following error message:
NAV WARNING: Insufficient memory to scan file. Access denied.
This error message may be displayed just after SMARTDRV.EXE is loaded
and usually occurs only if you are loading SMARTDRV.EXE high.
NOTE: Even if you receive the above error message, all your device
drivers and programs load normally. No functionality is lost.
CAUSE
The error is caused by the file NAV&.SYS.
WORKAROUND
To work around this problem, use one of the following methods:
• Load NAV&.SYS before EMM386.EXE and any other upper memory block
(UMB) providers, or make sure that you are loading it into a UMB that
has at least 64 kilobytes (K) free.
• Contact Symantec and obtain an updated version of Norton Antivirus
version 2.0. Versions of Norton Antivirus released on or after June
4, 1992, do not exhibit this problem.
