Re: Does anyone have Diskeeper 9 running on Win98 ?
According to the on-line manual, version 9 should work on windows 95 or
higher.

You might try uninstalling all of Diskeeper, then reinstalling the basic
verison 8 or 9, but skip the update. Or, if you are brave, re-download the
update and try again. As always, be sure to turn off all user prorgams and
your antivirus while installing. Reboot, even if not required. Then, be
sure the antivirus is back on, then test Diskeeper.
Contacting Diskeeper support might also prove useful. Be sure to give them
the specs on your PC, versions of products, and include any near-operating
system type of software (e.g., antivirus, firewall, antispyware, utilities,
etc).
As for other defraggers, I was happy with the one that came with Norton
Utilities around 2001, while I had win98. But, once I switched to XP Norton
did a lot less useful things. I do not know about the current Norton
defragger, or whether they even support 98 anymore.
