Disk keeper wants to defrag.

Every time I boot and while I'm working I get a pop up dialog saying that
diskeeper wants me to run defrag. I do. But the next time I boot I get a
dos like box showing what looks like a scandisk and then it boots into
windows (2k). This just keeps going over and over again... How do I fix
this?
 
I see... Disk keeper isn't part of win 2k?
It seems to have come as part of my IBM Thinkpad laptop.

So what are you saying? Are you saying that I need to speak with the
manufacturer
of the light version of diskeeper to resolve this problem?

Windows 2000 has a built in disk defragmenter which is a light version of
diskeeper called Windows Disk Defragmenter . On the other hand to get
Diskeeper you'll need to buy it.

From your description, it appears that Diskeeper - the full blown version
NOT the "lite" version that is built-in to Win2k - might be configured to
perform a boot time defrag on your system. If there is a problem with
Diskeeper, then you need to contact Executive Software - the maker of
Diskeeper. They can be reached at www.execsoft.com.

I found this link on the internet in regards to this problem. There is a
link to a microsoft knowledge base page but the link is broken... Do you
have a fixed link?
