When I try to run the defragmentation tool in Windows XP
I get the following error:

"Snap-in failed to initialize.
Name:<unknown>
CLSID:{43668E21-2636-11D1-A1CE-0080C88593A5}"

Then it opens Disk Defragmenter windows saying:

"Snap-in Creation Failed."

Any ideas how to fix it.

I was able to run the defrag.exe at the command line but
would like to use the Windows XP tool.

Thanks,

GuigoCLT

You might need the one on line 280 as well.Reboot and try defrag again.
