You are in violation of the golden rule of e-mail—do not type in all caps. The use of all caps can lead to headaches, nausea, and even vomiting. —Partial response to a reader’s e-mail inquiry, in Maximum PC [magazine], Jan 2002

Try running windows in safe mode first. The Defragmenter should work fine then.

lion2nite, You need to close most of the programs running in the backgrown and the best way to do this is to get *enditall 2* at google. Enditall 2 will close only the programs that are not needed and protect the ones that are needed. It will even let you close your screen saver and power management. First I close the programs in the system tray, the icons by the clock, then I use enditall 2,then do a disk clean, then scan disk and then defrag. On a 34 gb drive it only takes 15 or 20 min. if you do this about every 2 or 3 days. I also have Norton but I don't use it, it has given me more problems than it has fixed. I use AVG antivirus You can do a google search for this too. Both AVG and enditall 2 are freeware. thebest2uDon
