    It could be the DCOMLAUNCH service:

    1. Click Start > Run and type Services.msc

    2. Double-click DCOM Server Process Launcher

    3. Set its startup type to Automatic

    4. Restart and try Disk Defragmenter.

    In your Administrative Tools go to Services.

    Scroll through and see if you can find anything relating to Diskeeper.

    I seem to remember something about Diskeeper leaving behind some services even after you uninstall.

    If you find any Disable and remove them and run through what Matacumbie has posted.

    Using Windows Explorer browse to your windows\inf folder.
    In there you will find a file called dfrg.inf right click this file, and select Install.
