Disk defragmenting

I'm about to blow a gasket! Every time i try to defrag,
it continues to restart over and over again. There are no
programs open, but one is running. How can I tell which
one it is so I can stop it?

You may have to run a program like norton disk doctor to
check your hard disk. Once run and repaired all works out.

Bill,

Was having the same problem. I selected "ctl" "alt" del"
and shut down everything except explorer ans systray. Then
started the DRFRAG and it worked like a champ
