Nothing happens when clicking on Defragment or Analyze in Disk Defragmenter
(dfrg.msc).

With XP SP2 the DCOM Server Process Launcher service needs to be running for
Defrag to work.

Open Services...
Start | Run | Type: services.msc | Click OK |
Scroll down to and double click DCOM Server Process Launcher |
Set the startup type to Automatic | Click Apply |
Click the Start button | When the service starts, click OK |
Close Services | Reboot

<quote>
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

How To Fix Windows Built in Defragmenter

This fix worked for me. dfrgntfs.exe was crashing. Both from defrag.exe in
a command prompt and dfrg.msc.

Start | Run | Type: regsvr32 dfrgui.dll | Click OK

You should get a RegSvr32 message: DllRegisterServer in dfrgui.dll
succeeded. Click OK.

Start | Run | Type: regsvr32 dfrgsnap.dll | Click OK

You should get a RegSvr32 message: DllRegisterServer in dfrgsnap.dll
succeeded. Click OK.

Then navigate to C:\Windows\Inf ...
Start | Run | Type: %windir%\inf | Click OK |
Locate dfrg.inf, right click on dfrg.inf and click on Install
