O&O Defrag and Win7

[adkleaddog]

Just to verify: Got a new rig, Quadcore with Win7 (64bit) and wanted to verify that the following is done once, with following maintenance;  name defrags, not to use

Ok ,I really dont know what you talking about ,but I read Vista and win7 using O&O defrag (I think this topic shouldn't be here either) , what ,isn't recomend it for it?

[adkleaddog]

I followed the optimizations by Nick, it was said that the "tweaks" were ok for Win7....(Vista without the crap) and it said that you could run the process when doing the Prefetch part...it seems that that's the only time to add the line..?

It seemed that if you have Win7 you don't need to add that line before running O&O when doing reg maintenance..or first set up....Am I correct?

BTW,

Sooooooo....

No one uses O&O on Win7 machines?  :-?

I have Win7 Ult 64b and run O&O v12 and do not use the rundll32 advapi32,ProcessIdleTasks command at all during monthly maintenance.

It was back in December when I did the initial setup of my PC and at that time if memory serves me right there was some kind of problem or I did not think it acted right and I never tried it again.

Go use O&O v12 and don't worry about running the process idle tasks command.

EDIT: VISTA USERS. IF YOU ARE USING THE TWEAKS IN THIS POST:

There are no written and collected tweaks for FSX installed on Windows 7.

NickN mentioned somewhere that he would wait for the first servicepack before doing anything...

I guess it's OK to use the tweaks for Vista, but like you, and others, I'm a bit confused about what to use and what to skip!

You need O&O 12 for defrag Windows 7.
