Why did you have to reinstall Norton? Which Norton product do you have as in
Sysrtem works etc and which version?

Thanks Jim,

It is Norton Utilities 2002.

It has worked fine for the past 2.5 years.
It has also worked since SP2

The reason I had to reinstall was because
Speed Disk was playing up.

Speed Disk now works OK, but has left this strange
folder in R/bin.

I think I best reinstall - and see what happens.

Stephen
