I would hope that PC-tools would work with each other.  But if you use
some of the Norton Tools while PC-Cache, Smartdr or any other cache
program is running you are bound to have some type of problem.  I turn
off all of my TSRs when I have to use any of the Norton or PC-tools that
make direct changes to the disk.

Also the PC-Tools backup program destoried the install disk that came
with it.  I installed the program and it just started writting to the
install disk saying it was doing a speed test.  THE DISK WAS WRITE
PROTECTED! Has anyone had this happen to them?
