    PowerDesk Pro 6

    at 84 I am thick as mud.
    My prior solution was to leave 6 on in program files
    and install 5 in C:\ and that is where it is and works
    Now if I uninstall 6 and reinstall 5 to where, program file or to C:\
    If I install 5 to program files can I then remove 5 from C:\

    First remove all versions. Then install the version 5 into C:\Programs. ;)

    84 and still computing, you're my hero!! I'm only a pup of 70. ;)

    PowerDesck Pro 6 Problem completely resolved

    I decided to remove Power Desk Pro 5 and
    reinstall xp sp2 home edition
    during this I got a warning message thet Diskeeper 9
    was incompatable with xp
    Then it hit me, I have bee running Diskeeper to monitor
    fragmentation and correct as needed

    I completed xp installation
    removed powerdesk 5 and 6
    removed diskeeper 9
    and reinstalled powerdesk 6 and it is running perfect
    also my system restore had quit responding and now it
    was fixed
    then checked for and got an update to diskeeper 9 and
    reinstalled it and did not set it to load at starrtup and monitor
    fragmentation
    I defragged manually using Diskeeper 9
    Everything is working now and I am all out of breath from telling
    this story. :) :) :) :)

    Thanks for the update hawkeye. It may save someone else a lot of grief.

    It seems that Diskeeper 9 is a little unfriendly to some systems.
