Windows XP Diskeeper 10 query ???

[Abarbarian]

When I open the program I get the message in my pic . What does it mean ?? Is MMC - Microsoft Management Control ro something like it and what does it do and do I need to do anything about the message . I hjust clic on ignore and carry on but that may not be a good thing .

Are you using Win Server 2003 or Vista ?


Anyway, ONE solution is to click Continue running and always ignore errors with this snap-in, regardless of user or session, and then click OK

For XP there is a supposed fix ... some find it don't fix.

Thanks for that mucks . I'm using XP PRO SP2 its a genuine version with all updates .
Do I really need this MMC and can I get rid of it ??????????? I'm only a solo user with no network to look after .

LoL ... err, no, sorry, you need it.

Does this look familiar ...

The source of the problem is that the snap-in is not fully compatible with MMC 3.0, and you most likely have already realized that Windows installed MMC 3.0.

Did my suggestions, in my previous post, not work ?

You can go "play" with 'snap-in' if you like, but I would not be doing so on my PC.

May I suggest you do a bit of reading on 'Microsoft Management Consoles' or, mabe not.

Yup read up on MMC and its like double dutch to me .
Diwnloaded and installed from the link you gave .
Now I can't get to see the DK prog . Every time I click on the shortcut a box appeares telling me that "two instances of the prog can not run at the same time" So I've no idea whats going on . Guess I could uninstall and reinstall but then I'd have to set the darn thing up again . Darn Belloni for his post on defragging its his fault I got into this .

Yep, uninstall windows, err, I mean DK ...

Getting rid of windows might be a good idea but then how would I finish Max Payne etc .
