Maybe following the steps given in the following Google Groups
archived newsgroup post (to reinstall and register the built-in
defragmenter) would solve the problem.
Note that Laurence refers to the %SYSTEMROOT% folder
as winnt and yours is most likely Windows. So instead of:
"go to the \winnt\inf directory"
read
"go to the \Windows\inf directory"

Thanks to some help from MS tech support, this is a solved
issue -
With the help of ntregmon from
www.systeminternals.com,
there was QueryValue
HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Dfrg\ResourceDllName
NOTFOUND error that occured just before drwatson was invoked -
Apparently the Compmgmt snap-in will not work if the built
in defragmenter is not INSTALLED and working -
To install and register the built in defragmenter (who
knows why it was never installed in the first place???),
go to the \winnt\inf directory and right click on
dfrg.inf. Select install. Then run regsvr32 dfrgsnap.dll
and regsvr32 dfrgui.dll
<SNIP>

And if you cannot find the Windows\inf folder use Folder Options
to configure Windows Explorer to "Display hidden files and
folders". For more information search the Windows XP
Professional Help and Support Center for the words in
double-quotes and read the Full-text Search Match by that title.
And if the above does not solve the problem you may also
want to repair the registry entries for the Defrag Snap-In.

And until the issue is resolved may be you could use
the Defrag.exe command line utility to consolidate
fragmented boot files, data files, and folders on local
volumes. For more information see the following
