It runs continuously in the background and takes full advantage of the advanced capabilities of Windows 95. SysDoc takes the guess work out of knowing which utility to run in which situation. SysDoc automatically launches utilities like Disk Doctor and Speed Disk as appropriate, removing the burden of decision from the user without impacting system performance. Continually Monitors and Analyzes Vital System Resources and System Integrity System Doctor can monitor and analyze over 80 parameters, including CPU usage, disk integrity, disk fragmentation, disk space and network throughput, as well as Windows 95 memory and other system vitals, making it possible for individual users and MIS managers to easily customize hardware and software according to a user's computing habits. Alerts Users to Potential Problems System Doctor continually compares system parameters unobtrusively by running as a low priority thread to pre-set, default thresholds.
Users can also reset thresholds to different values to provide custom alerting capabilities.
For example, SysDoc will alert users to low memory conditions before any system lock-up or data loss can occur and then recommend both temporary and permanent methods for fixing the memory situation. When it detects and reports a threshold being reached, SysDoc recommends the appropriate action for the user to take, including advice on which other Norton utilities to run. This provides the user with an easy way to correct reported problems. Automatically Launches Other Norton Utilities System Doctor provides true automatic protection as it can launch the appropriate Norton utility, without user intervention, when it detects a problem condition. All level three protection utilities can be run from the user-friendly System Doctor graphical user interface.
