Defrag not working
When I try and do a defrag, after a very short time - it says: "Drive
contents changed, restarting". I tried closing down everything except Explorer, Systray, and Defrag. So nothing's running, did a spyware scan - cleared out the 4 tracking cookies. Still the same thing keeps happening. Thanx, jkb |
