PerfectDisk 10 Updated

June 9, 2009, 12:50(EDT) By Eric (a.k.a. TweakHound)

As DooGie had told us about, PerfectDisk build 110 is out. Here is the statement from the PerfectDisk blog:

PerfectDisk 10 Build 110 is now available. Various bugs have been fixed, a couple of which I wanted to specifically point out. We addressed a boot time defrag problem on Intel, multi-core, X64 processors running Vista SP2 or Windows Server 2008 SP2. Microsoft introduced this possible crash with Vista/2008 SP2 and has corrected it for Windows 7, but will not be fixing it for Vista or Windows Server 2008. So we created a workaround. We also made a workaround for the latest version of Safeboot, which introduced a problem for PerfectDisk users.

Update from within the program.

Tweak Guides Updated

June 4, 2009, 15:44(EDT) By Eric (a.k.a. TweakHound)

I’ve spent the last few weeks updating the following guides in preparation for Windows 7 guides. There has been a lot of cleanup, clarifications, and several additions. As the name intimates the XP guide will not be revised again. The Vista guide may follow the same fate. I’ve never been shy about the fact that I did not like Vista. Those who are using Windows 7 know that it will probably leave Vista as just a bad memory. Once 7 comes out I will not have any Vista computers left (only 1 left now). At any rate, I hope you enjoy these guides and that they may be of some help to you.
