I'm attempting to run defrag - but each time it hangs at
1%.

It ran last night for 12 hours without error or moving
past 1%.

I have my screen saver disabled - any suggestions

Hi Terri.

Had the same problem. I had to hit "ctl" "alt" "del" and
shut down everything except explorer and systray. Then
start the DEFRAG routine and it will run AOK.

I suggest that you remove Temporary Internet Files ( including Offline
Content ) and History. Start Settings, Control Panel, Internet Options,
General, Temporary Internet Files, Delete Files, check Offline Content and
click on OK. Also empty your Recycle Bin. This helps remove a potential
problem when running Disk Defragmenter.

Another precaution. Delete the contents of the applog folder ( the content
not the folder! ). See link below (disregard the references to the error
messages ) for the procedure.

I would then run Disk Defragmenter in Safe Mode.

To start Windows in safe mode Click Start, and then click Shut down. Click
Restart, click OK, and then press and hold the CTRL key until the Microsoft
Windows 98 Start-up Menu appears. For some machines, you can use F8 instead
of CTRL to bring up the Microsoft Windows 98 Start-up Menu. Enter the number
for Safe mode, and then press ENTER.

Notes In safe mode, Windows uses default settings (VGA monitor, no network,
Microsoft mouse driver, and the minimum device drivers required to start
Windows). You will not have access to CD-ROM drives, printers, or other
devices.

Hope this helps.
