Defragmentation problem

I'm having the same problem as "joan" has with defrag. I
have a task set for Sunday night to defrag. It starts
properly but then it gets into a loop. It will complete
about 1-2% then start over at zero. It runs all night
doing the same thing , never getting over 2% complete.
When I click the mouse to open windows from being asleep I
see the defrag window showing 0,1 or 2& complete, then the
defreg window goes away. Defrag does the same thing when I
open it manually through PROGRAMS, ACCESSORIES, SYSTEM
TOOLS, DEFRAG. Yhis has been going on for many weeks, I'm
sure, although I don't know when it actually began.
Please anyone, Help

You have a number of choices, the easiest of which is to run Defrag in
Safe mode. However, you may want to consider running in a "Clean Boot"
environment where you do all your maintenance at the same time. Check
out MVP Gary Terhune's recommendation;

Alternatively, you may download a free utility, named GEODisk,
designed by George Gedye, also an MVP, that manages this process for
you. If interested, see;

Hope this is of help.

Run defrag from there.
