Disk Defragmenter not working - and no message either!

[Guest]

Hi

When I try to Defragment or Analyze the disk, nothing happens.....

at all....

I've waited.....

and still nothing!

Any help would be much appreciated.

Try running Disk CleanUp in all user profiles! Then try chkdsk.

You should use Disk CleanUp regularly to Empty your Recycle Bin and
Remove Temporary Internet Files. Whenever you remove redundant files you
should always run Disk Defragmenter by selecting Start, All Programs,
Accessories, System Tools, Disk Defragmenter.
