Unexpected Defrag Problems
W98SE. I am suddenly experiencing problems when running Disk Defrag. I shut
down all the usual programs and until the past 4 days have never had any problem with this. Now, Windows freezes when I get to between 40 and 47% defrag and I have to reboot each time. Any guidance or solution would be appreciated. Thanks in advance Flusters

Thanks but no I haven't. I presume that I can, but I really wanted to cure the pesky problem if at all possible, rather than a work-round. Flusters "Peter Rogers" wrote in message ...

Flusters Are you closing all programs other than Explorer and Systray and turning off your screensaver? If that doesn't work, have a look at the following link: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/218160/EN-US/ Posting from Peter Rogers Replace NOSPAM with ntlworld to reply

Flusters I have finally decided that Safe Mode is the only way i am going to get it done. I do it once a month. In MSCONFIG, enable startup menu in GeneralAdvanced and reboot and you will get a menu and can choose Safe Mode from there. (obviously, afterwards, go back and dis-enable it) jrp

Thanks in advance Flusters Besides the other suggestions, try a scandisk first. Then a virus and spyware check. Note, if you have SpyBot and use TeaTimer, defrag will not run properly.
