Douglas and all,
Have you just gone for the Home version.
I got rather confused as to which is best and would be interested in
comments from folk as to which they're using and whether I need to think of
purchasing one of the other versions for ultimate satisfaction. For
example, Steve said something about the swap file and suggested that only
one version could actually defrag this file. I'd be interested in any
discussion as to the importance of being able to do this . . ..
I'm about to start using the trial (once I've plugged in my new hard
external drive, which I'm getting later today . . . so I'm looking for more
comments on these things, please folks.
Also, I've not been able to find anything about prices for the various
versions. This information would also be helpful.

Subject: [access-uk] Diskeeper
Just a postscript to the two recent threads on this subject.
Having downloaded the 30 day trial version I installed it this morning on
my
Toshiba laptop and chose the option not to have it run automatically -
preferring to try defragmenting a partition first. From the context menu
of
the c: partition I first ran an analysis which told me that there was
heavy
fragmentation and that performance would be seriously affected. The
latter
agreed with my experience, but on the other hand the Windows XP
defragmenter has, for as long as I can remember, reported that the drive
did not need defragmentation.
I next set Diskeeper to do a manual defrag - it took 8 hours - which
surprised me as the c: partition is 5 gb and holds only the OS, Office, IE
etc. plus Documents and settings. It must have been badly fragmented
indeed!
Many thanks to steve for bringing Diskeeper to our attention. The current
version seems to be a great improvement on one I tried 2 or 3 years ago.
