Zip Disc Not Ejecting With Norton Anti-Virus Active
Hello Mac-Forum members!
I have been using my two Power Mac Mac G5's in my technical illustration business and Zip 250Mb cartridges as part of my back-up of drawing files since 2005. For the past year or so, ejecting my Zip 100 and 250 cartridges out of the Zip 250 drives has been problematic with my G5's -- the cartridges won't eject until the third attempt, dragging the desktop Zip Disc icon to the trash. This problem started after an application upgrade. After some trial and error, I found that this problem was due to interference by my Norton Anti-Virus software. When the Norton Anti-Virus is active, the Zip cartridges require repeated dragging to the trash in order to eject them -- very frustrating! When the Anti-Virus is turned off, the cartridges eject at first attempt -- functioning properly. I am running Norton Anti-Virus 11, and this same problem was happening with version 10, also. I hope this helps others who are having this same problem with Zip disc's not ejecting properly. Thanks!
