Question about XP and Diskeeper Disc Defrager

[Guest]

Hello Everyone in Cybor Land, I would like to installExecutive Softwares
Diskeeper 8.0 on my machine. I contacted Executive Software and they said
that Diskeeper in Windows XP is an earlier edition. What do I have to do to
load Diskeeper 8.0 in from a disc, without having any conflict. I had
Diskeeper8.0 in my machine when I had Windows 98 an it seemed to work better
than the one in XP. Thanks for alls help and everyone have a great day. JJ

It should install easily. I had 8 and now have 9 and it installs without a
hitch.

Just go ahead and install Diskeeper 8.0 and there is no conflicts that I am
aware of. I use this setup with XP without any problems. Make sure to
update it also. Also be aware there is a Diskeeper 9.0 out, but I cannot
comment on it as I have not used it.

Good luck

I've been using DK 9.0 wthout any probs for yonks.
XP Defrag is a basic version of DK, integrated into XP under contact with
DK.

Yes, that's the message I meant to get across, the link states -
