If you are serious about disk defragmentation, optimization, and free space consolidation, you'll find PerfectDisk meets your high demands and requirements.

What's new in PerfectDisk build 8.00.45:

PerfectDisk Command Center

*Corrected a bug which caused the password used on deployment to be incorrectly encrypted. This resulted in a bad length or bad data error on deployment of PerfectDisk from the Command Center.
*Alternate synchronize interface is available for customers experiencing sync issues.
*Added a registry value to block going to the Raxco web site when clicking on the Online Resource Tab.
*Fixed a SQL statement for SQL 2000 and SQL 2005 servers.
*Added more detail to the error messages when the Command Center fails to connect to a client.
*Stopped the auto-refresh function from rerunning reports. This was causing the report data to change while you were reviewing it.
*Stopped the auto-refresh function from refreshing the Online Resources Tab.
*Increased the size of the History Dialog.
*Corrected various sort issues where data was not being sorted according to its data type (dates, numbers, text).
*Added support for non-English characters to the email notifications (utf-7 encoding).
*Help Files have been updated.

PerfectDisk Client

*Added additional code to support Vista. This still requires the special Vista Beta from Raxco Software.
*Added a registry value to block going to the Raxco web site when clicking on the Online Resource Tab.
*Fixed a bug where the disk bitmap was not being updated when it should have been.
*Added code to clean up the WMI database when uninstalling PerfectDisk on Windows XP and Windows Server 2003.
*Corrected a display issue when resizing the screen.
*Added code to prevent the same file type being used in multiple File Type Groups. For example, .txt can now only belong to a single file type group.
*Corrected various sort issues where data was not being sorted according to its data type (dates, numbers, text).
*Changed the defrag driver to support Vista on X64 platforms. This still requires the special Vista Beta from Raxco Software.
*Help Files have been updated.
