Disk Defragmenter not starting to working

[Guest]

I have MS Windowd XP Professional SP2. From Start->All
Programs->Accessories->System Tools-> Disk Defragmenter, Opens the Screen for
Disk Degragmenter. But when I highlight (C and click 'Analyze' or
'Defragment' button, nothing happens. It does not show the 'Before Status' or
does not start the Defragemtation.

Do I need to start any specific servive ? Dhat do I need to do ?

thanks,

Anyone should give the credit where the credit is due.

Note the following things will fail if this service is not running:

The builtin defrag will fail to work, and if running defrag from the command
line one gets this error:
Windows cannot connect to the Disk Defragmenter engine

System Information (MsInfo32) will fail to work and give this error:
Can't Collect Information
A network error occurred in connecting to Windows Management
Instrumentation. Ensure that your network connection is functioning
properly.
