Defrag help
HI,
I have a 80GB XP primary drive I am trying to defrag with the XP defrag option. The first time it took a while, now it still shows a lot of defrag files/folders but every time I do it, it lasts a few seconds then finishes. How can I go further with the defrag. I only have my Avast virus progs going when I do it. Thanks rock

Shut down any running program that you don't need while defragging and/or try defragging in Safe Mode. Buffalo

Defrag help
in addition to regular
defrag-ing you can also install "page defrag" from microsoft.com it runs at boot time and defrags the registry and other system files that regular defrag can not. -- db·´¯`·...¸)))º DatabaseBen, Retired Professional - Systems Analyst - Database Developer - Accountancy - Veteran of the Armed Forces - Microsoft Partner - @hotmail.com ~~~~~~~~~~"share the nirvana" - dbZen "rock" wrote in message ...

Will try the MS one for the the registry etc. rock
