Error when trying to use Defrag
When I try to use Disk Defragmenter, I receive the following error:

Error when trying to use Defrag
This error: Windows cannot connect to the Disk Defragmenter engine???
Nothing happens when clicking on Defragment or Analyze in Disk Defragmenter (dfrg.msc). With XP SP2 the DCOM Server Process Launcher service needs to be running for Defrag to work. Open Services...

Error when trying to use Defrag
This error, Wes:

Error when trying to use Defrag
Still no difference. I feel like I must be forgetting to do something, but I
am following the instructions you have been giving me, and it says --------------------------- RegSvr32 --------------------------- DllRegisterServer in msxml3.dll succeeded. --------------------------- OK --------------------------- (or for the other dll's it said they succeeded). Is there some way I can test to make sure these steps you are giving me really are succeeding, or is there some other way to perform whatever task regsvr32 is doing, in case it is not completely succeeding?

Error when trying to use Defrag
Nathan,
It executed just fine, otherwise it would throw an error (8000xxxx). Did you relocate the %APPDATA% folder, per chance? Check this KB: You receive a "Cannot open Snap-in Name" error message when you try to start MMC on a Windows XP-based computer: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/326574 - - - When you try to start Microsoft Management Console (MMC) with a snap-in on a Microsoft Windows XP-based computer, MMC may not start and you may receive the following error message: MMC cannot open Snap-in Name. This may be because the file does not exist, is not an MMC console, or was created with a later version of MMC. This may also be because you do not have sufficient access rights to the file. - - - Also, make sure that the Windows and System32 folder are in the Path. Type "CMD /K SET" in Command Prompt to view all env. variables. -- Regards, Ramesh Srinivasan, Microsoft MVP [Windows XP Shell/User] Windows® XP Troubleshooting http://www.winhelponline.com "Nathan Sokalski" wrote in message ...
