I have tried a few times now to get Perfectdisk to defrag in safemode but it wont. I get; Failed to connect to computer "PREFERRE -******" "This service cannot be started in Safe Mode" After I get that error,I click "OK" and pefectdisk loads fine but it wont detect my drives. In normal operation,perfectdisk does detect my drives. I am logged in as the administrator. Also..The xp defragmentor does work in safe mode. Id like to use PD in safe mode,is it possible?If so,how. Thanks
