Download Vopt 9.05

Golden Bow Systems has updated its Vopt defragmenter software to version 9.05. However, the program, which only runs under Windows 2000 or higher, can do more than just defragment. For example, it can also synchronize the system clock with an atomic clock via the Internet, check the hard disk for errors and get rid of unnecessary files, and optimize network and system settings. Below you can find everything that has changed in the program since the previous entry in the Meuktracker:

Changes from 9.04 to 9.05

• Included volume mount points (drives mounted as folders) in the drive list.
• File sizes are now reported as size on disk.
• Added Compress (or Uncompress) and Encrypt (or Decrypt) to the right-click popup menu in the “Clusters” and “Usage” windows. Encrypted files can be decrypted only by the user who encrypted them. Compressed files will be uncompressed if encrypted.
• Corrected minor problems.

Changes from 9.02 to 9.04

• Vista – Added code to work around a Vista SP1 error (ie “design feature”) which prevents defragmenters from moving files larger than 4GB without locking up. If using Vista– even with this work-around–defragmenting or moving a file larger than 4GB while the drive is being written to by other applications, may fragment the file.
• Vista/Windows 2003 – Added “VSS compatible Defrag” command. If Volume Shadow Copy is enabled on Vista or Windows 2003 Server volumes having a cluster size of less than 16KB, normal defragmenting may result in the loss of system restore points if there is insufficient space allocated for system restore. “VSS compatible Defrag” minimizes the number of files moved and the total size of files moved. Files larger than 64 MB are not moved or defragmented. File packing is minimal.
• New logic for “Defrag pagefile” command to minimize system restore increase.
• Corrected a problem which prevents Analyze/Defrag from running on some systems.
• Minor improvements and problem corrections. Minor cosmetic changes.
