Help! Unclear info on >> Diskeeper Errors - Pagefile.sys 1

[daveoasis]

Windows XP Pro, Diskeeper Lite 6.0

"When using Diskeeper 6.0, I get ScanNtfs - Scan aborted. Fatal error - File: Pagefile.sys.

What is wrong?

The NTFS engine is trying to store some data about the paging file in the registry, but cannot do so because the registry access permissions aren’t set up to allow it. "

Modified by Dave Y:
1 Resetting HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE
2 Software
3 Executive Software
4 DiskeeperNT
5 FragGuard permissions to
Administrator and
System full control will handle the problem.

I am unclear on Step 5 exactly how to do that. I find Step 4 & 5 to be these items instead of above:

4 Diskeeper
5. FragGuard
Name Type Data
(Default) REG_SZ (value not set)
EnableFGMft REG_DWORD 0x00000000 (0)
EnableFGPage REG_DWORD 0x00000000 (0)
ScannerWaitCount REG_DWORD 0x00000000 (5)

Launch RegEdit and use the Help program as it is your best source of information about RegEdit. See what is says about "To assign permissions to a registry key".

These following links take the subject a bit further too.

I remember the first time I looked at the Registry and how daunting it all seemed, but with time and plenty of safety nets (see below) it soon becomes as familiar as using Explorer.

If you change a key or value, use the Export function to save a copy of any key prior to your change. You just right-click on the highlighted key to find Export.

To backup the whole Registry for easy re-installation (even from other operating systems or DOS) I recommend this free program.

linney - Thank you. I am very careful when making changes such as the backup. I'll try this in the morning at the client PC.
