Diskeeper Lite vs Disk Management
by Guest Word Painter- 3 replies
- 186 views
hello, i wanted to format and partition a new drive, but couldn't seem to find the disk admin panel anywhere (XP pro). MS' website said to run "compmgmt.msc" from the command line. oddly enough, this brings up an "install dialog", preparing to install Diskeeper Lite, which I already installed some time ago. I have to click many times to cancel the install process, and am considering nuking DK lite because of this headache and other screen nags, etc. my questions, how did DK lite "hijack" the Disk Managment console? can i get it back? any other place that I can run disk mgmt from rather than the arcane command prompt? thanks for any help ... …

I've not been able to download and install Flash Player. It downloads ok and starts the install then I get a message that the "Install Failed." I go to their website and follow troubleshooting, etc. and it still won't install. They suggest reloading Internet Explorer (I have 7). Did that and still wouldn't install. Any suggestions? ps. I haven't changed a thing to cause this that I know of. It tries to use Flash Player on YouTube and now it won't work. Thanks for any help. Doug

From the Safely Remove Hardware icon on the taskbar I select to remove my USB flashdrive (Buffalo brand). I get the proper 'now safe' pop-up, but I then find that my broadband connection has also invariably been disconnected. (This is the other option in Safely Remove Hardware: "SpeedTouch USB ADSL PPP" - but I do not select it.) I then have to manually reconnect to the internet, and sometimes it won't even do this till after restart. (Windows XP home edition with SP3)
