defrag won't work
I have windows 98se Dell desktop xps t450 with 387 ram. Computer Associates Internet
Security Suite (which I finally got installed correctly? yesterday) . Now I can not defragment my C drive even if I disable all of my VS, firewall, anti-spyware. and do a ctrl-alt-delete of everything except explorer and systray (by the way ...the sound setting megaphone has disappeared from my systray) Please Help.I have cable connection. Defrag just spins its wheels. sometimes it goes to 1% but then drops back to 0% again.

On one occasion I even turnoff (unpluged) my high speed modem.

defrag won't work
TROUBLESHOOTING PROBLEMS WITH DISK DEFRAGMENTER
1. Apply one recommendation at a time and then try Defrag again to see if it helped. 2. Disable the screensaver, anti virus program and the cable/DSL modem, if any. 3. Delete the files in the Recycle Bin, the browser cache (Temporary Internet Files folder if using MSIE) and the Temp, History and Recent folders. Corrupt files can cause Defrag problems. 4. You may receive a notice indicating the drive was written to and caused Defrag to restart. This means some process is causing hard drive activity which interferes with Defrag. Either reboot to safe mode and run Defrag from there or use EndItAll2, a free program which shuts down nearly all running programs except Explorer and Systray. Download the program from he http://www.docsdownloads.com/Tier1/enditall.htm To boot to safe mode in W98, see: http://support.microsoft.com/support.../q180/9/02.asp 5. It's possible corrupt files in the Cookies and Applog folders will cause Defrag problems. Since those files contain useful information, you can either move them to a partition other than the one being Defragged or to floppy disks. Once Defrag is complete, you can replace the files. If it appears either folder contains corrupt files, you will either have to try to determine which files are corrupt, delete all the files and let them rebuild as part of your normal operations or move the folders during the next Defrag session. If you run into problems deleting a file because it is corrupt, try deleting it from a DOS prompt. 6. The first Defrag after installing or upgrading to Win98 may take a significant amount of time to complete. Also, Defrag may appear to stall out at the 10% mark; however, this is a common occurrence. As long as there is disk activity, let Defrag run. The appearance of stalling with W95 may also occur but it will generally be before 10%. 7. There are plenty of MS Knowledge Base articles on Defrag features and problems: W95 How Disk Defragmenter Reports Fragmentation http://support.microsoft.com/support.../q124/9/17.asp W95 Cannot Defrag Drive Locked By Disk Utility http://support.microsoft.com/support.../q128/9/60.asp W95 Disk Defragmenter May Seem to Stop Responding http://support.microsoft.com/support.../q136/8/36.asp W95 Windows 95 Defrag.exe Command-Line Parameters http://support.microsoft.com/support.../q155/3/26.asp W95/98 Error Message: DEFRAG0026 Make Sure Disk Is Formatted http://support.microsoft.com/support.../q155/4/04.asp W95/98 Error Message: DEFRAG005 (or DEFRAG006) Error Defragmenting Drive http://support.microsoft.com/support.../q160/0/43.asp W98 Determining the Programs Disk Defragmenter Optimizes http://support.microsoft.com/support.../q186/0/20.asp W98 Description of the Disk Defragmenter Tool http://support.microsoft.com/support.../q186/1/71.asp W98 Third-Party Tool Reports Fragmentation After Running Defrag.exe http://support.microsoft.com/support.../q186/8/84.asp W95/98 Drive's Contents Have Changed: Restarting http://support.microsoft.com/support.../q186/9/78.asp W98 Disk Defragmenter Hangs http://support.microsoft.com/support.../q218/1/60.asp W98 Correct Steps for Disabling Screen Saver During Defrag.exe http://support.microsoft.com/support.../q229/0/57.asp W95/98 Error Message: DEFRAG009 Computer Does Not Have Enough Free Memory http://support.microsoft.com/support.../q229/1/54.asp W98 Error Message: DEFRAG00205 Error Defragmenting Drive C http://support.microsoft.com/support.../q238/1/65.asp W95/98 Defragmenting the Windows Paging (Swap) File http://support.microsoft.com/support.../q240/7/55.asp -- Regards Ron Badour, MS MVP for W98 Tips: http://home.satx.rr.com/badour Knowledge Base Info: http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?pr=kbinfo "CdLSRN" wrote in message ...

Yes Henry it does work with all versions of XP (I have it on my XP Pro
laptop). I'm just updating my websites with that information. I never posted it there before since there's rarely any need to use it with XP unlike 98 & especially ME! (that pesky memory leak never did get fixed!!) Hope this helps; ~Ðð©~ www.docsdownloads.com "Henry" wrote in message . ..
