my defragmenter is broken

[Madx]

You have not completed what I suggessted.

Run Disk Defragmenter and then set the pagefile to a minimum and a maximum
of 1.5 gb and restart the computer. If it works the result will be a nice
green single unmovable contiguous block in the middle of the drive.

It is the pagefile that comprises the green block. No pagefile = no green
block

I went back and to make sure amd the pagefile is1500mb max 1500 mb (the
units were in mb not gb so I guessed at 1500) min I guess i just copied the
wrong report. So here is the latest report. I go to analyze and it says I
should defrag but the defrag stops after 13% compacting and then I get the
complete message.

Try cCleaner (freeware) which does a more thorough job than Disk
CleanUp.
http://www.ccleaner.com/ccdownload.asp
http://www.ccleaner.com/

With any cleaner you need to proceed with caution. To be safe you
should create a restore point before using cCleaner. cCleaner also
offers backup before removal.

When using cCleaner think twice before checking Autocomplete Form
History under Internet Explorer. You do get a warning but this one has
irritating consequences. You may need to restore your system's
recollection of passwords after use so keep a record off computer so
that they can easily be re-entered.

Leave the Scan for Issues option alone.

Then Start, All Programs, Accessories, System Tools, Disk CleanUp,
More Options, System Restore and remove all but the latest System
Restore points?

Then see if Disk Defragmenter misbehaves.

Are you using Hibernation?

I don't use hibernation.

I have been using ccleaner ran it again removed restore pts as requested,
defrag still not working. In the past I have scanned for issues and fixed
them did it fix something it shouldn't have?

I have also used winaso could that have broken defragmenter? But mostly
when I have run that I also ran defragmenter and it always worked before.

Well everything else is working fine on my computer so not sure why defrag
program isn't.
