When I tried Diskeeper last year, I seem to remember my problem being
the
Analyse button being greyed out. This was the lite edition, so that could
have well been to do with it. I'd be interested to hear anyone's comments
though.
Cheers,

Subject: [access-uk] Re: Defragmenting
VEry good to hear remarks on this subject of defragging. I tend to do
this
around once a month with System Mechanic, but having heard peoples'
remarks
about regarding diskeeper, it sounds certainly worth investigating.
I'd only add that this experience highlights all too obviously the need
for
backup. There are very cheap external hard drives these days which,
being
hard drives, might be prone to going down themselves, but at least ones
chances of recovering lost data are much beeter than with nothing at all
in
reserve. DVD with new capacities of around 8GB is another obvious
candidate. Then also there is on-line backup, but for so many gigs of
backup that could be an exspensive option.
So, maybe the question should be, what backup method should be used; and
what media storage type? From what's being siad thus far, sounds as if
diskeeper might also incorporate backup features of its own. Is this the
case? Ray

| Actually, I'd have to disagree slightly here. If you're relying on the
| Microsludge Defragmentation tool, then you're almost certainly right
| as it does a pretty poor job of it! But if you use a tool like
| Executive Diskeeper, with its on-the-fly disk management and superior
| defragmentation engine, it can significantly enhance a drive's
| performance over time. I reckon that it has been one of the best PC
| tool buys I've ever made actually, and still pay an annual SMA for it
| because of the improvement in performance I get!
|
| Cheers.
