Got exact same message when attempting to use Diskeeper version 8, after

installing SP3. Got 3 choices with the error message. One was to connnect

with MS for a possible fix, another was to ignore the error, the other was

to not alert me again. Diskeeper support says this also occurs with

Diskeeper early version 9. And, to anticipate a fix from MS. Am still

waiting.

 

Additional information. MMC was replaced with a newer version as part of

SP3. The snapin, not MMC, is what is causing the problem. Diskeeper

continues to work, despite the error message. In your case, the snapin for

MMC may be part of the setup installation. If so, you have to have fix.

Check with the printer manufacturer.

Someone had this error a while back and I never heard of any fix being

released for it to date. I have not heard of Microsoft releasing or

planning to release a fix for this either. Have you? If they do and

you get it, do post to the group so we can all know about it. Cheers.

Still waiting for the fix.

 

Other diskeeper users are saying for me to go to latest version. That's

irrational to me as diskeeper 8 is still functional as is.

Yes, I agree. It worked fine in SP2 and I didn't see it on the list of

apps that might break with SP3.
