Which of the Norton Utilities will not work in WinXP, or does it depend on
whether you're using a FAT32 or NTFS file system? I'm wondering also about
CleanSweep and Ghost also and exactly how compatible SystemWorks is with
Windows XP Pro and if I should install SystemWorks at all. The parts I liked
were One Button Checkup, Disk Doctor, WinDoctor, File Compare, and the
Uninstall Wizard. Norton Antivirus was okay, but I think I'm going to try
AVG.

All utilities in Norton System Works 2004 are XP Home and Pro compatible. I
recommend that you install NSW 2005 instead, however, since it is SP2 aware
out of the box. This question can only be answered definitively by Symatec,
however.

What does Symantec say? Also, a Colin stated, NSW 05 is SP2 aware, where
many updates have to be downloaded/installed for NSW 04 to become fully XP
SP2 compatible.

Which Q are you? John DeLancie Q or a different Q?
