Diskeeper 2008 pro wont perform boot time defrag

Diskeeper 2008 pro wont perform boot time defrag

When trying to do a boot time defrag using diskeeper 2008 pro I get the following message:

Some argument was unrecognized or conflicting, boot-time not running...

Needless to say the defrag doesn't happen leaving my MFT and paging files badly fragmented.

I've been all over the net but theres nothing out there (and I mean NOTHING out there) that specifically deals with the message:

Some argument was unrecognized or conflicting, boot-time not running...

I've contacted Diskeeper support but it's been day's now and I still have no reply.

I'm using XP

No I haven't ever had any Norton (Symantec)software installed on this computer

I dont know if it makes a difference (it shouldn't) but I upgraded from Diskeeper 2007 pro.

Ive also checked BootExecute in the registry and the string reads:

autocheck autochk *
autocheck AUTONTFS C: PAGE=MIN DIRS=NONE ENDPAUSE MFT=MIN


Any Guru's out there that can help?

I would be eternally grateful.

This is obviously not a common problem (Yet) Diskeeper 2008 still being new.

I'll be watching Google over the next little while very interested to see if others start having the same problem.

The only thing that I'd like to add at this stage is that I'm a little disappointed that I've had no response from Diskeeper tech support.

Usually no response if you used email.

I find the phone to be more effective.

Many thanks to Diskeeper Tech Support Specialist ? Ken and also Director of Product Management ? Michael.

In my original post I expressed my disappointment at Diskeeper Tech Support not getting back to me. I would like to take back that comment.

Solution:
copy AutoNTFS.exe from C:\Program Files\Diskeeper
Corporation\Diskeeper to C:\WINDOWS\system32

Boot-time defrag works correctly once this is done.
