I tried installing a trial of Diskeeper, but uninstalled it after a few
days.

Now, the built-in XP Defragmenter doesn't work. It loads fine, but if I
click "Analyze" or "Defragment", nothing happens.

I've removed all traces of Diskeeper (including registry files) and I've run
checkdisk, but it still doesn't work.

Anybody have any ideas how I can fix this?

Thanks.
 
Analyze and Defragment buttons in Disk Defragmenter console do nothing?:

My DCOM service was already on, so that wasn't the problem.

I checked my Event Viewer and I get the following errors:

Event ID: 7026
The following boot-start or system-start driver(s) failed to load: Defrag32b

and

Event ID: 7000
The Defrag32 service failed to start due to the following error: The system
cannot find the file specified.
 
Defrag32 seems to be a service installed by Raxco PerfectDisk. Try here:

How to remove an unwanted service:
=========================

The Service and driver entries are present under this registry key:

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services]

Each sub-key represents a driver or a Service. To modify/delete a 3rd party
service, click Start, Run and type REGEDIT to open the Registry Editor and
navigate to the above location.You should be able to identify them easily by
reading the "DisplayName" and "ImagePath" fields in the right-pane in the
Registry Editor.

Note: Before modifying / removing a Service, create a System Restore point
or a complete Registry backup, just in case something happens.

Hey guy,

It might be nice if you could use your real e-mail address becuase it's
annoying that I get all these spams and replies at my gmail
(tehsuck@gmail).

Thanks,
