Defrag recommendation from another simmer!

[Geofa 108]

With this program-you get program updates thru a link that is sent email. Since I am not getting the emails I can't update....There have been already about 3 updates. There is no other way to contact the company except thru emails-and none of mine have been answered.http://mywebpages.comcast.net/geofa/pages/rxp-pilot.jpg

But then I have only had it about two weeks. I just figured that you updated it by going to their web site. You mean to tell me that the only way to upgrade your ver is getting a link via e-mail? That seems kind of clunky to me.RhettAMD 3700+ (@2310 mhz), eVGA 7800GT 256 (Guru3D 93.71), ASUS A8N-E, PC Power 510 SLI, 2 GB Corsair XMS 2.5-3-3-8 (1T), WD 250 gig 7200 rpm SATA2, CoolerMaster Praetorian case

What will the full (purchased) version of O&O defragger do that the trial version will not do?Also, is there a limit of the number of defrags you can do or like a time limit 30 days then it expires.

It appears to me that all that is on the website is a demo. It states that updates are free by a link sent via email. If you find otherwise let me know.http://mywebpages.comcast.net/geofa/pages/rxp-pilot.jpg

Just a waste of time if you know what I mean.Side notes:By the way, I have flown the Dreamfleet BaronXP on many a short flight... even one on VATSIM. Great plane. Wish there navdata (real old) was up to date.Are fuel costs keeping you and Baron grounded or do you get it up once in a while?

The trick is to run on low power settings when practicing (don't have to get anywhere fast in that scenerio). Took it out a couple days ago for 2 hours-and only burned 38 gallons!http://mywebpages.comcast.net/geofa/pages/rxp-pilot.jpg

I used the trial version for a week testing all the various methods of defragging to compare them. The trial version I used gave me everything the purchased version gives me. I didn't find any reference to a limited number of defrags and I did quite a lot. Should only take a week to make a decision to buy or not.Gary

Gary,Thank you for the reply.I will go get it then and give it a try based on your information here.Sounds like a good program.

Geofa-I have been using Ultimate Defrag (it came bundled with my FSX order via PC Aviator) as has been described above and have been very happy with it. I do get periodic emails with updates from Disktrix -- in fact the most recent update lets you select any particular file and see it highlighted on the schematic of your disk drive...this way you can confirm that your FSX scenery files are in fact on the outer edge, etc. I didn't save the email, unfortunately, but hope that you can get the updating problem from Disktrix worked out.I don't understand why they would not respond, but another possibility might be checking with PC Aviator to see if they have a point of contact at Disktrix, since they seem to be very closely associated.

If not I was going to find out what e-mail address mailed me notification, and see if that would point you in the right direction.I am not doing the "auto" feature. I think that is not for our type of user Geof. :) I need to read the docs a little on it though.Incidentally I have E:FSX E:SCENERY and E:FSTOOLS all on the outer tracks, among a few other things.RhettAMD 3700+ (@2310 mhz), eVGA 7800GT 256 (Guru3D 93.71), ASUS A8N-E, PC Power 510 SLI, 2 GB Corsair XMS 2.5-3-3-8 (1T), WD 250 gig 7200 rpm SATA2, CoolerMaster Praetorian case
