Disk Defragmenter won't work

[mladner]

For some reason, the defragmenter will not work. How can I fix this
problem?

Thank you;

What happens? Are you getting any error messages? Do you have enough free
space on the drive? (defrag needs 20% free space to work properly)

Before running Disk Defragmenter run Disk CleanUp in each active User
Profile to remove Temporary Internet Files. Then run chkdsk. In Windows
Explorer right click on the drive and select Properties, Tools, Error
Checker. Finally try Disk Defragmenter again in Safe Mode.

Hope this helps.

What happens when you try? What specific error messages do you get?
What do your system event logs report? What specific troubleshooting
steps have you already taken, and what were the results of each?

No one can help if you don't provide at least a modicum of information.
