That turns out not to be the case. I just optimized three of my partitions 
using Norton Speed Disk while Desktop Manager was active. No problem at 
all. It's much better than Disk Express II, which is what I was using. DE 
II kept reporting disk directory errors that SUM II, NUM and MacTools 
Deluxe couldn't find. I guess it's time to feed Disk Express to Oscar. He 
loves trash.
