Diskeeper 2007 Professional represents the quantum leap in system performance, enabling you to run your computer at the height of its potential, 100% of the time, and for the life of the system. Regain and Maintain Peak Performance Individual PCs require constant maintenance to keep them at an acceptable level of performance. The results of inadequate or no maintenance are all too familiar - freeze-ups, disk errors, and worse - system crashes. But system maintenance itself can consume considerable resources, and while it runs can make your systems slow and unresponsive - a case of the cure being worse than the disease. Diskeeper 2007 Professional is the answer Gone are the days of scheduling. Diskeeper 2007 Professional enhances file system performance in real time, without ever taking away from vital system resources - even during times of heaviest demand. InvisiTasking Diskeeper 2007s revolutionary new InvisiTasking technology is a breakthrough of magnitude. InvisiTasking enables the vital system performance enhancements of Diskeeper 2007 to occur in real time, as it undetectably taps into unused system resources - providing truly transparent system maintenance. Enhancing File System Performance - Automatically Diskeeper 2007 Professional's automatic defragmenter is completely transparent - except for the remarkable boost in performance, you would never know it was there! It also includes FragShield, which guards against fragmentation of critical system files to boost stability and speed. Diskeeper 2007's online directory consolidation and sequencing for enhanced data access speeds mean faster virus scans, back-ups, and file searches. There's even a power saving mode for laptops to ensure no drain on precious battery life. In addition, Diskeeper 2007 simplifies deployment and management - it is fully network-capable and can be installed and managed with Diskeeper 2007 Administrator or Windows® Group Policy. Because there is no scheduling and no resource conflict, Diskeeper 2007 Professional will keep your networked systems running at their peak, while enabling you to concentrate on other vital tasks. Maximizing disk performance can extend the typical workstation's life to 4 years, 5 years, and even longer.<p>File system support: Diskeeper® supports the Microsoft® NTFS (New Technology File System), FAT16 (File Allocation Table) and FAT32 file system formats. Operating system support: Windows® XP Home Windows XP Tablet PC Windows XP Media Center Windows XP Professional Windows XP Professional x64 Windows NT 4.0 Workstation (SP6) Windows 2000 Professional Windows x64 support Diskeeper 2007 supports native 64 bit mode on Windows 64 bit operating systems. Hardware support: Diskeeper runs on the Intel® x86 platforms (including compatible CPUs from other manufacturers). Functional limits: Maximum supported volume size: 768GB Note: High-powered desktop systems with volume sizes up to 2TB will need Diskeeper 2007 Pro Premier. Read more here. Disk subsystems supported: Primary Partitions Extended Partitions Logical Drives Volume Sets RAID Arrays (hardware and software) Mirrored Disks Mounted Volumes (letterless drives) Resource requirements: The disk space requirements for Diskeeper depend on several factors. On Windows Server 2003, Windows XP and Windows 2000 systems, Diskeeper will need about 11 MB. Allow about 10 MB of extra free space for temporary files during the installation. If Internet Explorer® is not present on your computer, some other needed files (hhupd.exe, 50comupd.exe, and wintdist.exe) may be added. Further, your system may require a new or updated version of the Microsoft Management Console (MMC), which is less than 6 MB. Additional software requirements: Diskeeper relies on the Microsoft Management Console (MMC). The MMC provides a single point of control for system utilities such as Diskeeper. The MMC is used as a central location for a variety of Microsoft and third party administrative tools. The MMC is included in Microsoft Windows 2000 and newer Windows operating systems. A note about firewalls: As a normal part of its operation, the Diskeeper Service (DkService.exe) acts as a server on your system. If you are running a hardware or software firewall, you may see messages indicating Diskeeper Service is trying to act as a server. These messages are expected; you can safely allow these events. This functionality is designed to allow for support for network operations (e.g. Remote Control) via Diskeeper Administrator. You may also be notified that Diskeeper is trying to access the Internet. It is important to note that Diskeeper does not access the Internet (except when you specifically use the Check for Updates feature), but it does use Windows mechanisms that may trigger these alerts from your firewall. Again, these messages are expected and you can safely allow the events. If networkability or automatic update checking is not required, you can safely disable this.
