Norton Utilities for Windows 2000

[Guest]

Is there a Norton Utilities for Windows NT?

If there isn't, are there any programs out there for NT that mimick the WinDoctor and Optimization features of Norton Utilities?

You don't need that garbage in win2k..... if you can't keep your pc in good clean running shape wihtout it you shouldn't be using win2k =)

Do not use that p.o.s program on any os. I strongly believe after time it slowly wrecks the registry. I have done many reformats and everytime I used that program my os seemed to turn to crap.

I agree, i also believe that it screws your registry, i formatted4 times with 98 because of it.

Alrighty. Thank you all for replying.

Maybe something like Norton Speedisk would help ... Deskeeper 5 is damn slow

You people just don't know how to use Norton. It's a great program IF you do a custom install, leaving all the crap out, and using what is actually useful. I swear by Norton Utilities and have fixed countless computer problems at work. Windoctor is the best cure for Illegal Operations short of reformatting.

In my 2 monthes of using Win2k, i have not had one Illegal operation, i don't even think they exist, therefore i have no reason to use N.U. I was just stating my opinion.

I have to agree with Mr Thick"peewee" man. I love N.U. and if you keep all that other crap out from installing its great. Anybody I put computers together for, I make em buy it. My own opinion of course, its a great preventer of messed up operating systems..but take heed in the fact that any of their utilities so get a system going that can't boot aren't worth a hoot. Later

My feelings too. I have been a faithful norton user for years and it has done me wonders. As long as you do a custom install (-unerase wizard for example) youre fine. Its been there to pull me out of some pretty bat times!

Although I love Norton Utilities I think finally W2K has grown to the point where you almost don't have to buy a 3rd party utility to fix it. I remember back in my Dos 4.0 days and a program that I could not live without...was it PC Utilities 9.0 or PC TOOLS 9.0? Something like that. Anyways NOW that was a program you NEEDED...these days W2K is almost fine by itself....unless your a Tweak Freak.

I don't know if anyone's noticed but ummm....shouldn't this thread be moved? I know Norton Utilities isn't a game. (although it should be...I've spent more time with it than alot of games!!!!)

Yes agreed if you left out norton windocter from the install then I dont see how it could screw up your comp. But one thing though... Is there an nu for nt? And if not I dont think the unerase wizard will work. And I wouldnt use speeddisk. or the regtune. Somebody prove me wrong and then smack me across the head. If your looking to speed up your performance alot I recommend doing a defrag with diskkeeper for win2k. Not just a regular defrag. There is an option for boot time defrag. Cuz win2k cant defrag everything while it is running. I noticed a huge performance in my system.

The only norton I know of for NT is Norton Utilities 2.0 for NT 4.0. I have no idea if they plan a W2K ver.

Yeah, sorry. I accidentally posted this topic in the games section, thinking I was in the Applications section. Mea Cupla!
