I got Diskeeper 2008 Pro Premier a while back hoping to keep my laptop in good shape. Then I performed a system update which included the update of some Intel drivers for disk management and wireless network management. As a result my laptop started freezing a while after going into screen saver mode. I spent a few days on the phone with IBM/ Lenovo support and Microsoft support to resolve this issue. They could not solve it, but I stumbled onto the solution when I noticed that the hard drive was very active after going into the screen saved mode, which made me realize that the automatic defragmentation of Diskeeper was kicking in. When I disabled that automatic defragmentation the problem was gone. I then uninstalled and reinstalled Diskeeper at Diskeeper's direction which resolved the issue entirely. Diskeeper still won' admit that there is an issue between Vista driver updates and Diskeeper, but I know what happened to me. It took me a few days of wasted time, so I figured I would post my experiences. |
