Norton and Creative = no norton

Unknown

There is this error I get with creative and NAV. They say on their site creative causes norton to be disabled at startup. I went ran msconfig and I unchecked CTDVDET.exe located in Creative\SBAudigy2ZS\DVDAudio

There is 3 of them, all different I left the CTsysVol since Im guessing its volume. and a SBDrvDEt @ C:\Program Files\Creative\SB Drive Det.

I tried disabling each one and whichever I disable norton will work. SO I currently have the CTDVDET.exe disabled. And I have a question on that one. Is that for watching DVD only? or what? because I rarely watch DVDs on my pc. But if it has to do with some other stuff I will enable it after startup.

You don't need any of the Creative stuff loading at startup. Just disable them all. The Windows volume control will work fine without all of them.

CTDVDDET.exe is a little Creative app' that automatically detects and plays DVDs. This is a non-essential process. Disabling or enabling this is down to user preference, but you don't need it.

All that Creative stuff loading at startup is just a waste of resources.

Hope that helps.

Cheers mate.
