Temporarily suspend/deactivate Diskeeper DkService

[AndyHancock]

I'm running Diskeeper 2008 Pro Premier on Windows 2000 SP4. It was
installed as admin. I'm logged in as power user, but want to turn off
DkService so that the CPU can be uninterrupted for the next 20
minutes. I lauch Diskeeper as admin using Run-as, then disable
DkService. However, though it uses little CPU most of the time, it
still fluctuates in the amount of CPU that it uses, between a few
percent to 40~50%. Why does it not suspend?

I also see DkService in the Services menu. I am reluctant to suspend
it because I'm not sure if that will screw things up. Some apps can
be simply restarted, but some apps assume some kind of special boot-in/
login activity. Is it OK to suspend DkService from the Services
application?

Thanks!

Done. I was wondering, though, what other Diskeeper users do when
they burn a CD or DVD. It isn't recommended to allow processes or
applications to run if they consume noticable amounts of CPU, even
spordically. I'd especially be interested in hearing from owners of
older laptops, which might have slower clock rates, hard drives, and
burners. On this thread, in this newsgroup, of course. Thanks.
