[AccessD] NU Speeddisk error

Symantec support has info on this;

Speed Disk compatibility after upgrading to a new Windows Service Pack

Situation:
When you run Speed Disk after upgrading to a new Service Pack, you see one 
of the following error messages:

"Speed Disk is not certified on this Operating System"
"Warning! This version of Norton Speed Disk has not been tested with the 
Service Pack..."
"Speed Disk is designed to run with Windows 2000 and Windows NT 4.0, service 
pack 3 or later. It will not run on Windows NT 3.51."
"Speed Disk is designed to run with Windows NT 4.0 Workstation with Service 
Pack 6 or above, Windows 2000 Professional and Windows XP Home Edition or 
Professional. OK."

Solution:
This message does not indicate that Speed Disk is impaired. Speed Disk is 
working as designed. The message indicates that Speed Disk has not been 
tested with the service pack that is on your computer. This situation 
happens when Microsoft releases a service pack after the release of Speed 
Disk.

What to do when you see this message
When you see this message, run LiveUpdate to make sure that you have the 
latest Speed Disk update. To run LiveUpdate, click the LiveUpdate icon at 
the top of the Norton Utilities or Norton SystemWorks Integrator (the main 
screen that you see when you first open Norton Utilities or Norton 
SystemWorks).

If no updates are available or you cannot update Speed Disk at this time, 
you may be able to disable the warning message. To stop the warning message 
from appearing each time that you run Speed Disk, select the option "Do not 
show this warning again" that is displayed on the warning message. Not all 
Speed Disk versions display this option.


Why a service pack has not been tested
Symantec cannot test service packs in advance of their release. Because 
service packs change frequently before they are released, Symantec cannot 
complete testing of that service pack until all the changes to that service 
pack have been made.

Why Speed Disk displays the message
Because Speed Disk is highly dependent on the operating system and the 
service packs make significant changes to an operating system, Speed Disk 
displays this message to notify you that Speed Disk might not be compatible 
with this service pack.
