Defrag query
A general query.
I recently started receiving this message following a defrag of my C drive "Defragmentation is complete for: (C Some files on this volume could not be defragmented. Please check the defragmentation report for the list of these files." The report lists no files, totally blank. De-fragging my F drive throws up no such message.(both drives NTFS system) I recently un-installed Windows messenger, (to prevent running process msmsgs.exe) which caused issues with Outlook Express loading extremely slowly. I resolved this by following the instructions below from the OE newsgroup http://insideoe.tomsterdam.com/probl....htm#slowstart Is it the recent un-install that's caused this ? Is disk de-frag looking for some of these files ? Just for my info really as machine is running ok, and I try to learn something new every day ! |

I find these Newsgroups a constant source of comfort when my machine acts up (as they all inevitably do!) So thanks again to all who take the time to contribute. |
