IE 4 question for anyone: When IE4 saves your username and password, as it does for SI members, is there any way to get IE4 to forget it, other than to exit IE4? Thanks, PW.

hi pw, i completely agree with you about system works. i'm about ready to purchase it myself, being already a user and a big fan of norton's products. system works will represent for me an upgrade from utilities3.0 to 4.0. i already have antivirus 5.0. i love their win doctor component that fixes windows problems. as i've mentioned before on this thread, the very first time i ran it, it identified and repaired 54 windows problems! that alone made a dramatic difference in my pc's performance. nu4.0, a part of system works, also includes a new 'connection doctor' that performs a thorough modem check. pc magazine can't say enough good things about this software suite, giving norton's products their editor's choice award time after time. i've read also that utilities 4.0 has significantly reduced the 'performance hit' that occurred with the previous version. one can further reduce some of this impact by not running every single component continuously in the background. if i sound like i own shares in SYMC, well, it's only because their products are so helpful. as for owning the stock, i don't. i should, but i don't. :) mark

Just finished solving a puzzle which bugged me for a few weeks and I wish to share what I discovered. I ordered SystemWorks with my PC. At first, things were smooth and cool. Fast, Useful, and a Joy. Then I needed to re-install Win98. I couldn't get SystemWorks to load correctly. Setup would HangUp. Then it wouldn't Un-install either. In the process of trying to get things 'normal' again I've re-installed Win98 so often I'm worried about giving the CD a laser sunburn. Each 'attempt' takes 7-10 hours, when I'd rather be doing other things. I've become very familiar with SYSREC, the Win98 systems recovery utility too. I followed the on-line hints and suggestions from Semantec: Close but no Cigar. &@%&!&!&#@% I had resigned myself to choose between a 'questionable' installation of some REALLY NICE utilities or a 'clean' system without them. Some choice! Finally, the good part: I had become a fan of Tweak-UI and had installed it along with Win98 every time. I ran Tweak-UI and set things back to 'vanilla', and un-installed it. This time, when I tried to install SystemWorks, things went perfectly. I then re-installed Tweak-UI. My system's now 100% The lesson: Some software needs a REALLY clean machine to install. I found this out the hard way, and I hope I can save someone else the effort. Cheerios, PW.
