Help! I get the message that there is not enough free memory to run defrag in W98! I have tried closing programs running in the background, tried changing the virtual memory - no luck! Any ideas?

If is happening because the cluster size of the partition, is invalid in relation to the size of the partition. This can occur if you use a ghost-like utility to copy a smaller drive onto a larger one, and it carries over the cluster size of the smaller one. Choice is to redo the partition, or buy Partition Magic. http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;EN-US;q229154

your drive may have errors on it. run scandisk. reboot the machine into safe mode and run scandisk. when finished, run defrag again while still in safe mode. it may take a little while to get past the 10% mark but hang in there.

Just how full is the ole hard drive ? "IF" you have only 1 hdd and it's nearly full windows may not have enough Virtual memory to do a defrag try emptying the recycling bin and deleating any temp file find files *.tmp *.log and deleat them then get rid of bmp/jpg/progs you never use reboot and try it

Please help! I have icons that i can't deleat! It stays both on the bottom of my screen and in the start button on my screen from where i can run my programs from. I just can't seem to get rid of them. Any information on how?
