Since installing Norton Utilities a few weeks ago, I have been
having some strange problems with Directory Assistance - the
file opening/loading dialog utility it provides.

First of all I am running Sys 7.0 with tune up.
Whenever I try to open or load a file, and the Directory Assistance
and it displays the current folders at that level of the
file system, I can almost never double click on a folder and
have it open up.  I must select the folder and then click the
OPEN button.

Also whenever I have to type a name for a file I am saving in the
same Directory assistance type window, the display of the characters
that I am typing is VERY S L O W!.  I can usually get about 8 char's
ahead of it.  When I look at the disk led on my drive, its flashing
away like mad.  I am not sure what's going on.

I don't believe I have any unusual inits installed on the machine
either.  I have reinstalled the entire Norton Utility package
with all extensions turned off, and it made no difference.

I know another coworker who has the same problem on his machine,
while yet another worker does not have these problems and we are
all running ~~same stuff.

Any ideas would be appreciated.  Please email responses, as I 
can't read this group every day.  

thanks
