Try registering the defragmenter dll's. From a command prompt issue
these three commands, pressing <enter> after each command (line):

cd %systemroot%\system32
regsvr32 dfrgsnap.dll
regsvr32 dfrgui.dll

both commands come back with "not recognized as an internal or external
command operable program or batch file"
 
Look in the %systemroot%\system32\dllcache folder for regsvr32.exe and
copy it to the system32 folder and try again. Something may have gotten
skewed with your Windows installation, the regsvr32 file should be in
the system32 folder. Did you eliminate the possibility of virus or
other malware on your system?

Do you have enough free space on the disk for the defrag tool to work?
Did you do a disk cleanup and get rid of temporary internet files?
Sometimes these files can cause the defragmenter to have hiccups.

If all else fails try reinstalling the defragmenter. Look in the
WINDOWS\INF folder for dfrg.inf right click on it and select install.

regsvr32.exe is in the system 32 folder,could not find dllcache folder,ran
spybot,AD Aware, AVG.did chkdsk after reboot, everything comes up ok, 47%
free space on disk, deleted temporary internet files, tried reinstlling
defragmenter from WINDOWS\ inf folder. So far back to square one defrag will
not run. Also tried a restore point back 7 days.
 
I read somewhere that if the pagefile is too small the defragmenter
might not work properly. The suggestion, which apparently works for
many, was to set the pagefile to a static size of 2X RAM (twice the size
of installed RAM). Easy enough to try, see what happens.

Other than that the only thing I can suggest would be to run an sfc
/scannow on the machine.

John John, Thanks for your patience and help.
Did Kellys Korner, 280 no help, ran scannow sfc tool, no help. Don't know
where to go now. No clue what caused defrag not function. No new hardware or
software installed. Thanks again.
 
Event Viewer, Application, shows yellow icon, userenv, event 1517, system.
Security everything OK.
System, error, netbt, event 4211, N/A
 
I don't think these would have anything to do with the problem at hand.
And the pagefile deal, that didn't do anything?

I'm pretty well out of ideas other than to try an in-place upgrade
(reinstall) and I can tell you that I would not go through that hassle
just for the sake of the defragmenter. Maybe one of these can help:

The one above may cause more "fragmentation" so maybe try this instead:

At this point that is pretty well how I would fix the problem... any one
of these two options should end the defrag problem.

Maybe somebody else has other suggestions.

Thanks John John, will think about it. Strange condition, nothing in the
defrag folder responds to mouse clicks, File menu, Action , Help Menu.
