My Disk Defragmentor program on windows xp pro. stopped working. It opens but does nothing when I click on....

Question

Anaylze or defragment. I tried using the command prompt-defrag- and it doesn't work either. What do I do now?

Answer 1

The Disk defragment in Win XP requires the Microsoft Management Console for it to work. My guess is that for some reason the MMC files on your pc was damaged. You can download and install it from this site : http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?familyid=61FC1C66-06F2-463C-82A2-CF20902FFAE0&displaylang=en

Try this:

A THOROUGH CLEANUP, WIN XP:
While you are connect to the Internet do the following:
1. Click on “Tools” ... “Internet options.” There you will see three buttons next to each other... "Delete Cookies" ... "Delete Files" and "Settings." Also, below the settings button you will see another one "Clear history."

2. Click on "settings" - go to “View files” – go to "Edit" - Click on "select all" - Go to “files” and click delete, wait till all “temp” files are gone.

3. Go back and click on "delete cookies" and wait till gone

4. Go back and click on "Delete files," put a check mark on the little white square shown on the small window that will open, click OK and wait to finish.

5. Go back and click on "Clear history", click “yes,” wait a little and you are done.

6. Now, perform a “Check disk” and then a “Defragmentation;” when finished, restart your computer and see if the problem is gone.

7. If the problem persists, go to this site http://www.tune-up.com/info/lp/tuneup-utilities/?ap=1646 and download their free trial program; familiarize your self with it and use it to clean up your registry automatically, (Don’t do anything manually in the registry!). It is an excellent and safe little program that does wonders with PC maintenance tasks. I strongly recommend it!

8. If all of the above fail, go to Microsoft/Windows updates and download any new updates that may not have been downloaded automatically. If this doesn’t correct the problem, here is the address of an excellent library about windows tips and tricks and “how to” problem solving.

Go to www.cpworld.com and look for Windows tips” or you could send an e-mail to the author [e-mail] about his library of articles.

Lament for all that wasted time, effort, and things that don't work, on purpose!

Even Microsoft Corporation doesn't run Microsoft! They run 45,000 GNU/Linux systems corporate/worldwide!

Get this free download, http://pclinuxos.com and then burn it straight to CDrom. Reboot to FREEdom from DRM, slowness...
It runs upto 50X faster than Microsoft on the same computer!
