Defragmentaion

When I try to use the defraf option on Windows XP Home, I get the following
message:

"The application or DLL C:\WINDOWS\system32\mmcbase.DLL is not a valid
Windows image. Please check this against your installation diskette."

What can I do to fix this so that I can defrag?

Try running system file checker. In the run dialog box, type sfc.exe
/scannow. Have your original Windows CD handy because you will need it to
replace any corrupted files.

Art does not say whether SP2 has been installed. If SP2 has been
installed there are three copies ( version 5.1.2600.2180 modified
4.8.04 ) on the hard drive. I see that the one giving trouble is the
copy in the System32 folder so I would try replacing that with one of
the others. If SP2 is not installed and Art does not have a Windows XP
CD then he will need to search his hard drive for another copy of the
same version as the one in the System32 folder.
