I've been running SystemWorks 2001 for around a month now, with no problems.

 

It comes in two flavors: The $40 version gets you NAV2001, Speed Disk, Disk Docter, Win Doctor, and Clean Sweep. For $20 more you get those plus Ghost and Norton Fax.

 

Right now, NAV2001 is going for $19.95 at the local Staples (the closest thing we have to a "computer store" out here in the boonies).

 

In Win98 and WinME, SystemWorks installs a few more goodies. Aparently they either don't work or aren't needed in Win2K.

 

I've found Speed Disk to be substantially faster than the full version of Diskeeper, but it lacks a boot-time defrag and a couple of other features that Diskeeper has.

 

All-in-all, it's a pretty good set of utilities, especially if you can get it at a good price.

Does it put any errors in your event log. I hate software that does that.

Yep - stupid NAV2001 introduces the IRPStacksize error and I started getting winmgmt errors after I installed it. NAV7 Corporate doesn't cause the IRPStacksize errors, just Nav2001 and prior iterations of the non-Corporate NAV's.

I haven't been able to locate any event log errors attributable to SystemWorks 2001. Could be an update fixed that?
