At times they have brought my system to its knees. I've tried turning them off using the Raxco programs options, and then using msconfig, and there are still running processes. Argh! I hate non-essential programs running in the background that cannot be turned off easily. I paid for this program, but am now going to uninstall it.Jon Abbotthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10461078628778004116noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19298483.post-1654576653945741262007-06-01T12:23:00.000+02:002007-06-01T12:23:00.000+02:00I've already paid for PD8 (not PDRx), and I'm not ...I've already paid for PD8 (not PDRx), and I'm not about to toss it away just yet. If you MUST have a GUI then try PD8. In fact, it's on my list of products to review, which never seems to end.<BR/><BR/>Vopt didn't fix my MFT problem, so I don't think I'll be forking out another $40 for that, even though it is a super-fast program.<BR/><BR/>I'm living with JkDefrag because I got my installer to create a menu with everything I need, including a GUI.<BR/><BR/>I started this series thinking that nothing could beat PD8. In a way that's still true, but not for the reasons I expected.Donn Edwardshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07954994300802439618noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19298483.post-4676862427854048462007-06-01T10:45:00.000+02:002007-06-01T10:45:00.000+02:00Great job, Donn!

However, after reviewing PD Rx Suite you suggest that you will probably not re-install PD8. I tried JkDefrag v3.8 and see what you mean about its speed and simplicity. However its lack of a developed GUI makes it unsuitable for my use. So, now that the "Shootout" is complete (or at this stage of the shootout, if it is not complete), which commercial product (with a developed GUI) would you choose if, like most of us, you had to live with a single defrag application? Would it be Vopt, PD8, or something else? Thanks!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
