Is this your desktop computer your office computer?
Office.
Employer has no budget to get me a bigger/new HDD.
Why are you not running SP3? Why are so many that people that post
problems here not even current on software updates that are free and
highly recommended?
IT doesn't support it yet.
You are not current on your MS software. Your IT people, or somebody
you probably know, needs to fix this. I don't know of too many people
that are going to be happy to help you figure out why old software
does not work as you expect it to or believe it should.
What old software doesn't work in XP Pro. SP2? I do keep it updated when
critical updates appear in Automatic Updates.
Why do you have think you have VMWare images on your office computer?
Are you the VMWare administrator? Do you keep VMWare images on your
personal desktop computer? Do you know what a VMWare image is or do
you just see some big files that don't want to defragment and you
think they should?
They are for VMware Workstation and I do testings. According to XP's
defragger, these huge files are very fragmented and can't be defragged
due to low free disk spaces.
VMWare usually runs on a separate and powerful VMWare server and
supplies the resources of an actual physical servers (boxes) as
virtual machines where physical servers are not available or possible
due to cost, environmental or personality factors. is your desktop a
VMWare server?
No.
Do any of these situations apply to your environment?
Nope.
Do you have a VMWare problem or is your desktop just not performing to
your expectations?
My computer HDD can be slow. PC is like 3-4 years old. It's a Dell
Optiplex GX270 I think.
