: 
: Your system disks should have a control panel file called "Cache '040" or
: something like that.  Put that in your system folder (in the control panel
: folder) and double click on it.  There, it will give you the option to turn
: it ON or OFF.  It you want to run Norton Utilities, turn it OFF.  When you
: make a change you must reboot your Mac for the change to take place.  After
: you turn the cache off and reboot, you should be able to run Norton.
: 
: If you plan of running software that is NOT compatable with the '040 cache
: being turned ON, then I recommend getting (I believe it's shareware) 
: "Autocache".  This lets you turn the cache on/off ON THE FLY without having
: to reboot constantly.  Just leave Apple's '040 Cache on ON and then just use
: Autocache to switch your cache settings.
: There is also another control panel device called "Animals".  It is $50 from
: Impulse Technologies.  It AUTOMATICALLY switches cache modes for you.  You
: don't have to do anything.
: 	I hope this was of some help.

If you hold down the option key while turning the cache on or off, you don't
have to reboot.
