My internet connection is via cable. I had the same problem. If you have a
cable connection, close all background programs and disconnect the power and cable leads to the controller which is connected to your computer (supplied by cable company). Run defrag, reconnect cable leads, then reboot. This info applies to cable subscribers. wrote in message ... -----Original Message----- My Defrag will not run, it gets to 1% and restarts consistantly.

Jeff ) Do it in SAFE Mode, that way on the bare essential proogies are running: Explorer and Systray. Also turn off your screensaver. -- Sincerely, | (©) (©) | ------ooo--(_)--ooo------ Andrew H.
