PLATFORMS AND OPERATING SYSTEM VERSIONS SUPPORTED ================================================= This version of Diskeeper Lite is supported on Intel x86 platforms running Windows NT 4.0 builds 1345 and higher.

In the "Choose Destination Location" dialog box, either accept the default installation location, or click the "Browse" button to specify a different disk and/or directory. If you specify a directory that does not exist, the setup program will create it for you. Click the "Next" button after specifying a disk and directory, or to accept the default installation location. 4. After a short period of copying files, the installation is complete. UNINSTALLING DISKEEPER LITE =========================== Follow these steps to remove Diskeeper from your computer: 1. From Control Panel, double click "Add/Remove Programs". 2. Click the "Install/Uninstall" tab. 3. Highlight "Diskeeper Lite". 4. Click the "Add/Remove" button. This removes the Diskeeper program files from your computer. KNOWN INCONSISTENCIES IN THIS RELEASE ===================================== 1. On NTFS partitions, Diskeeper Lite will sometimes fail to defragment certain files. 2. On volumes with very little free space, compressed files may not be completely defragmented. 3. Under certain circumstances on NTFS partitions, Diskeeper Lite may encounter a file which contains inconsistent file information. If this occurs, Diskeeper Lite displays the file name and terminates the current scan of that partition. Moving or deleting the questionable file, or reformatting the partion sould eliminate the error. 4. In some instances, the Diskeeper Lite installation directory is not deleted when Diskeeper Lite is uninstalled. In such cases, the directory can simply be deleted manually after running the Uninstall process. These situations are currently being addressed and are planned to be corrected in a future version of Diskeeper Lite.
