Norton Utilities 15 - Problems

I am running NU 14.5 on my computers without any problems.  I download the trial version of NU 15 and installed it.  However, speeddisk, diskdoctor, and unerase won't work.  I uninstalled it, reinstalled it, and same problem.  I have tried both the rc3 version and the rc5 version.  Any ideas or thoughts?  I went back to NU 14.5 in the meantime.  Thank you.

Hi JONin92656,

 

When you see that Norton Disk Doctor, Speeddisk and Unerase are not working, could u provide more information on what happens exactly? Do you receive any error message?

Nothing happens at all.  The cursor "spins" as to show it's going to do something, but then fizzles out.  There are no error messages at all.

What version of Windows do you have?  How much RAM do you have?  Do you have any other Norton software installed?

I have NIS 2011,  Norton Ghost 15,  Norton Power Eraser (which I have not used yet), and Norton Utilities.   I am running Windows 7 Ultimate,  32 bit

NPE and Ghost shouldn't impact this.  Could you go into the NIS settings and turn off Norton Product Tamper Protection temporarily to see if that makes a difference?

I turned it off as you suggested and it made no difference.

Re: Norton Utilities 15 - Problems

Did you uninstall Norton Utilities 14.5 prior to installing Norton Utilities 15.

Re: Norton Utilities 15 - Problems

Yes I did.  I uninstalled NU 14.5 before installing NU 15.0   I turned off the Tamper Protection in NIS 2011 before installing NU 15 too.  I have tried installing in regular mode and safe mode.  Regardless the three "tools" do not work....Unerase, Speed Disk, and Disk Doctor.
