Hi, my C: drive won't defrag correctly. There is a broad band of green non movable files and it appears to defrag up to there and no further. There are also a large number of files which cannot be defragmented. Help, pleas

Files which are in use (running programs, system files, etc) cannot be defragged. You might want to try the command line version. Open a command prompt window and enter DEFRAG /? for the list of command line options.
 
Have already tried the command way. Didn't work. Any other suggestions?? Thank

If you haven't defragged in a while, it can take quite a while for the process to complete. Can you be more specific than "didn't work"?
