Recommended Posts

On my biz PC I DO use norton utilities WIN Doctor [i don't mean chkdsk Disk doctor] It regularly finds activeX probs and missing stuff and fixes them.

On my PC that doesn't need a firewall etc. [objective: >MAX CPU power andit's not on the net] I have NOT installed Systemworks or ANY of it's competitors as they all need an install and they all take up resources.

SO: I am wondering IS there anyway to run DISK Doctor from CD? OR, is there something AS good that can run NOT being installed... OR: can I somehow discover ALL the bits that LOAD at startup and NOT load them somehow..

Looking for the most elegant pro way to go obviously... What don't I know??

Great to be here ... ANY ideas GREATLY appreciated...

This one's buggin' me as I KNOW there problems with windows on the PC that does not have Norton Utilities Windoctor on it...

thanks

Not quite clear what you are trying to achieve. Do you have any problems on that stand-alone machine that you need to run disk doctor?

  • Since the machine is not on the net, it is unlikely that you have any ActiveX problems.
  • If you have any missing or corrupt files, you can use the system file checker to restore them.
  • For other file problems you can use Windows CHKDSK to check.
  • If you have fragmented files you can use the Windows defragger to defragment them.
