Help- can't defrag

M

Mike

Hi: I have XP Home on a P4. Defrag won't start (I've
tried Safe Mode as well and logged in as Administrator).
The GUI will open but when I press the Analyze or
Defragment buttons, absoloutely nothing happens.
Everything else on the system seems to be fine. Any ideas?
Thanks.

Thanks, but no luck. Defrag still won't start. I also
downloaded a fresh copy of defrag.exe from the same site
u mentioned and it still didn't help.

Error Checker works fine and shows no errors, but defrag
still won't start. I'm stumped.
Thanks,

Hi Mike

How much free disk space have you got available? Defrag needs at least 15%
free to run properly.
