Diskeeper 9 Professional Problem

[Sony]

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

Quote:

Unable to launch or to connect to diskeeper service

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

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:

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

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!
