This is driving me crazy
I installed the latest version of diskeeper pro v.9.0.504 and i keep getting this message:


I tried everything i could think of , from cleaning the registry to manually start and stop services and so on with no luck :(

As anyone else encountered similar problem or know how to fix it ?

I'm running XP SP2 installed on 2 SATA Raptor in raid 0


Attached screen of the pop up error


Thank you

Same here, sony. Took it back out and the original native defragger works OK.

me too - went back to version 8 - and no connect problems now

I'm not the only one with this problem :D

Who knows how to fix this problem ?

I use o&o defrag pro so doesn't bother meto much i just wanted to test this new version to see if they improved over version 8 and added some better option like in o&o.
maybe it's simply a buggy warez version,
will do some search around to see if i can find a working version or a fix

Are you allowing the loop back to 0.0.0.0 and 127.XXX in the firewall? I have a version I just loaded, seems to be working once I allowed the loopback. Will up to yousendit if needed

Right guys... this is a very simple problem to solve, your XP firewall is blocking the service of Diskeeper. See their web site. It explains all and the resolution:

Not using xp firewall tested with and without any firewall
no luck at all i tested all the tricks on the deskeepr site but nothing worked....... :(

I tried to disable the windows firewall but the program still not working :angry:

well I have no problems with the pro version. Just it must be able to access the Internet on accasions. If you block teh service then it wont ever work!

I should say first that with the patch and NIS 2005 turned off - it works
Home and Pro but I still can't figure out how to get it working with NIS on. I have the same problem accessing the internet within Office too when NIS is on - no problem when it is off.

It is not working here with Sygate :(

It will even work if you unplug your internet connection , it's just connecting to the loopback IP.
There is a hotfix at Microsoft I think.
See here link Programs that connect to IP addresses that are in the loopback address range may not work as you expect in Windows XP Service Pack 2

We need to run this process before obtening the link for downlaod :angry:

You can select the option "No, do not validate Windows at this time, but take me to the download"

Thanks Dave :)

I don't see this option the first time ;)

I just reboot after 21 days and the fix is not working for me :(

I was hoping for a good fix...........
you should try o&o professional difrag on sp2 my favorite difrag.

Just tested the new diskeeper 9 on my wife laptop and it's the same old diskeeper......

no new apparent option

just my 2 penny ;)

Sygate firewall never ask for this program trying to connecting :blink:

I will reinstall my version 8 until a fix is out :(
