Temporarily suspend/deactivate Diskeeper DkService

[Guest AndyHancock]

I'm running Diskeeper 2008 Pro Premier on Windows 2000 SP4. It was

installed as admin. I'm logged in as power user, but want to turn off

DkService so that the CPU can be uninterrupted for the next 20

minutes. I lauch Diskeeper as admin using Run-as, then disable

DkService. However, though it uses little CPU most of the time, it

still fluctuates in the amount of CPU that it uses, between a few

percent to 40~50%. Why does it not suspend?

 

I also see DkService in the Services menu. I am reluctant to suspend

it because I'm not sure if that will screw things up. Some apps can

be simply restarted, but some apps assume some kind of special boot-in/

login activity. Is it OK to suspend DkService from the Services

application?

 

Thanks!

Done. I was wondering, though, what other Diskeeper users do when

they burn a CD or DVD. It isn't recommended to allow processes or

applications to run if they consume noticable amounts of CPU, even

spordically. I'd especially be interested in hearing from owners of

older laptops, which might have slower clock rates, hard drives, and

burners. On this thread, in this newsgroup, of course. Thanks.
