Resource requirements
The disk space requirements for
Diskeeper depend on several
factors. On Windows Vista, 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 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. |
