Disk Keeper no longer supported at this time

[Jim McCree]

Disk Keeper is no longer support with RC1........He is Disk Keepers response
to my email to there Tech Support about this.....

Diskeeper currently only provides support for the Windows Vista CTP builds
5381 and 5384 with a free public beta, which can be download from our
website. The regular purchase versions of Diskeeper cannot be run on Vista,
only the beta version made for Vista will work. Vista Builds other than
5381 or 5384 cannot run Diskeeper.

When the full version of Vista becomes available, Diskeeper will have a
version that will be compatible with it.

The Diskeeper Technical Support Team takes considerable pride in helping you
resolve problems or questions you might have with our software. Tech support
tickets remain open until we hear back from you that the solution you were
provided worked. You can help us by keeping us informed about how things are
going.

We appreciate your business and look forward to hearing back from you.

Best Regards,

Can't say I blame Executive Software for not keeping up with every beta
release of Vista. We've all here seen things break from prior releases to
RC1 and that's just the name of the beta game. When we get to RTM code...
ah, well that will be when the rubber truly meets the road.

Absolutely, be careful. Luckily, perhaps, I couldn't get Perfect Disk
to perform a boot time defrag. Other than that, it seems to work
great.

There was a problem with boot-time "Safe Mode" (as they call it) defrag. A
registry fix is available from Raxco for that.

Can you clarify what you have posted? What do you mean, "was a problem"?
Has it been fixed? Is it not a problem in the latest release? Who should
install this registry fix?

Sorry I posted in haste. I meant Raxco's Perfect Disk 8 on my machinje
anyway, refused to do the boot time defrag. I emailed Raxco and they
emailed me the instructions and a patch.

Thanks for the update.

Just a question. Are you running Vista 32bit or 64bit. Raxco has a beta
version (free of course) for the 32 bit version of Vista but not the 64bit.

That's the one person. And the issue is actually is worse than that.
I acknowledged the request of Raxo support to reinstall PD8 and this
time i didnt schedule any boot-time defrag. Result: BSOD again.
My Vista cant stand perfect disk, period.

Sidenote: PD installation SHOULDN'T create a restore point.

In the current situation, auslogic free defragmenter is probably the
best option (see my vista defrag mini-review on the performance
forum).

I run diskeeper from my xp partition on the window vista partition and it
defrags fine with no problems.

 

[Peter]

That has always been a good alternative method.
