Guest Lil' Dave Posted July 31, 2008 Posted July 31, 2008 So what's the fix for the mmc snap-in for diskeeper version 8.0459 after installing SP3? One google search result said to reinstall. Another was to invoke mmc via cmd, and open file to invoke application name for snap-in. Nothing in diskeeper.com support FAQs. App still defrags, just can't open it a 2nd time in same windows session. IE opens instead????????? -- Dave

I don't see anything higher than the version you cite. - Thee Chicago Wolf

Thought I would check here after checking for the obvious at the diskeeper website. And, many versions of diskeeper have since been available version 8. Reason I know is all the advertising email diskeeper guys keep sending me for the past few years since installing that version. Mmc isn't visible in task manager, was before installing SP3. -- Dave

Yes, the MMC in SP3 was updated to the 3.0 version release. I'm almost curious to see what would happen if you take it up with Microsoft. Give it a shot at this link: http://support.microsoft.com/oas/default.aspx?ln=en-us&prid=11273&gprid=522131 Explain what's going on, tell them it worked pre-SP3. Maybe they'll issue a patch for it that you can apply. It's worth a shot. - Thee Chicago Wolf

Diskeeper, starting with version 9 uses a different mmc communication. I did submit a support issue form at the diskeeper website, and, noted the problem immediately occurred after installing SP3. Am betting they're gonna try to sell me version 10 instead of giving us stalwart version 8 users a fix. I never updated diskeeper since 2003 as it worked fine all these years. For giggles, I uninstalled diskeeper, rebooted, installed diskeeper from the original retail CD. Same problem. BTW Installed SP3 from the CD that MS provides for a modest sum. Installation was totally uneventful. -- Dave

If they certainly can't provide a fix, a deeply discounted upgrade would be a an alternative in my opinion. - Thee Chicago Wolf
Guest chamelion23@googlemail.com Posted August 4, 2008 Posted August 4, 2008 Re: SP3 and mmc snap-in Hello, This problem occurs since there were changes to MMC in XP SP3. Please note the defragment function would continue to run in the background regardless of this error message. The MMC Error will give you the three options below to chose from: THREE OPTION TO CHOSE FROM 1 Report this error to Microsoft and then shut down, 2 Continue and ignore with this snap in for rest of session, 3 Continue running and always ignore error with this snap in, regardless of user or session. Recommended workaround is to select the third option to "Continue running and always ignore error with this snap in, regardless of user or session". This would not affect the functionality of the MMC or Diskeeper.
