Resource Requirements
The disk space requirements for Diskeeper depend on several factors. The Diskeeper
installation package is about 60 MB. After the installation is complete, Diskeeper
occupies about 38 MB of disk space. If Internet Explorer is not present on your
computer, some other needed files (hhupd.exe, 50comupd.exe, and wintdist.exe) may
be added. Further, your system may require a new or updated version of the Microsoft
Management Console (MMC), which is less than 6 MB.
Additional Software Requirements
Diskeeper relies on the Microsoft Management Console (MMC). The MMC provides a single
point of control for system utilities such as Diskeeper. The MMC is used as a central
location for a variety of Microsoft and third party administrative tools. The MMC
is included in newer Windows operating systems.
A Note About Firewalls
As a normal part of its operation, the Diskeeper Service (DkService.exe) acts as a Windows service on your system.
If you are running a hardware or software firewall, you may see messages indicating
Diskeeper Service is trying to act as a Windows service. These messages are expected;
you can safely allow these events. This functionality is designed to allow for support
for network operations (e.g. Remote Control) via Diskeeper Administrator.
You may also be notified that Diskeeper is trying to access the Internet. It is
important to note that Diskeeper does not access the Internet (except when you specifically
use the Check for Updates feature), but it does use Windows mechanisms that may
trigger these alerts from your firewall. Again, these messages are expected and
you can safely allow the events. If networkability or automatic update checking
is not required, you can safely disable this.
Stop fragmentation-based lags and crashes on Windows server systems in their tracks
– even when demand is at its absolute highest! Lower your operating costs and increase
your server performance with Diskeeper 2011 Server edition.
