Hi , I am running windows ME and having trouble starting the defragmenter
,
I have tried start/programs /accessories/defrag , the page opens but wont
start .
Ive also tried start /run /cmd , but the mesage says 'windows cannot find
cmd'
A while back I had a similar problem and was advised to press cont /alt /
del and remove some of the items on the list ,
which worked fine , but I cant remember which ones to avoid.
Can anyone help.
Thanks Jim

Try rebooting, press F8 during startup and select Safe Mode, then run
defrag.


Thanks Eric , I got the defrag running but I had to run scandisc first as there were some errors found .
I thought this would have fixed a problem I had with the media player (9)
but when I try to play a video I get an error message OxCOOD11BA (cant find
file) ,
and when I play audio it says OxCOOD1197(problem with sound card),
should I try system restore to fix the media player or down load another
player ?
