IanR

I am trying to use my Windows Disk Defrag utility proram. Whilst the
application is there for me to open up, I cannot get the "Analyse" and
"Defragment" buttons to work and defrag the machine. Please can someone
advise how to get the buttons working.
Regards
 
Ian

What error message appears when you try to analyse or is there just no
response?

Does the command line alternative work?

Does chkdsk work?

Hi Ramesh
Thanks for your post.
Not sure what the DCOM Server Process Launcher service is but using the
service.msc command, it shows in the list as "Automatic" so assume it is
running. I believe this problem has come about because I loaded a third
party defrag utility program and then uninstalled it. I've followed the
instruction you gave below and the problem still exists. Do you have any
other thoughts - Many thanks

Hi Gerry
Thanks for your response.

No error message appears at all. The buttons will depress but nothing
happens. Not sure what you mean by command line alternative. If you can
explain I will let you know.

Chkdsk is working. Says to use chkdsk /f to fix file issues but then says
cannot do it as the volume is being used by another process. Not sure what
this means. Have set it to run the next time the PC restarts.

Can you explain what you mean by "New Command Line Defrag.exe". Is this an
option to possibly correct my problem.

Thanks again

Well, you can try to Repair the Defrag by doing the following:
Start In Safe Mode and Defrag your system.
Here some info on how to repair Defrag if it damaged:
Open a run command and register these DLLs:
regsvr32 msxml3.dll
regsvr32 dfrgui.dll
regsvr32 dfrgsnap.dll

= Open Windows Explorer and locate this path;
C:\Windows\inf =in the right Pane/Window select dfrg.inf and right click on
it and select install

Repair Disk Defragmenter in Windows 2000/XP
http://smallvoid.com/tweak/winnt/install.html#DEFRAG

And also make sure the machine free from malware and viruses by running a
thorough scan with an up2date security software and anti-malware.
Scan for malware from here:

Select Start, Control Panel, Administrative Tools, Services and right
click on DCOM Server Process Launcher and select Properties.

The Service Status appears under the StartUp type o the General tab.

With a Start Up type of Automatic the Service should have started but to
say it starts Automatically is not evidence that it has started.

Have you been using a third party disk utility or third party
defragmenter?

With Windows XP two defragmenters are provided. The command line
defragmenter can be run by selecting Start, Run type "cmd" without
quotes and click on OK. Type "defrag c: -f" without qotes and depess the
ENTER key. When th process has completed type "exit" without quotes and
depess the ENTER key to return to Windows. The command line defragmenter
is alternative way to defragment. Read KB Article 283080 for switches,
which be used with the defrag command.

Hi Gerry
I hope my rsponse answers your posting.

I have used two different third party defragmenter at diffeent times -
Auslogics and Defraggler. If I remember correctly I was using Auslogics
(Free Version) first and the Windows defrag worked if I initiated that
process instead of Auslogics. I did not check if Windows Defrag worked with
Defraggler after I unistalled Auslogics.

I've followed your instruction below using the "defrag c: -f" command at the
C Prompt and get the following message:

"The system cannot execute the specified program"

I've had a look a the KB article 283080 and although I basicly understand
what is being said, I'm not making progress with it. The Defrag.exe
application on my C;\ Drive brings up another error message:

"Windows cannot open this program because it has been prevented by a
software restriction policy " etc.

I've noticed that there are many different ways on XP to open up the Defrag
Window. Opening the program/window is not an issue. The problem is getting
the buttons when depressed to start the analysis/defragmentation process.

I trust I haven't made the problem more cloudy by my response.

Regards
Ian
 
Do you have more than one account on this machine? What happen when you run
it in Safe Mode?
Did you tried to repair/install the Defragmenter? Why you defraging so much
and what the reason ( disk space, clutter)?

This either can be because an Account limited or an infection on this
machine which preventing you from Gaining control on the machine.
Try to right click it and select run as then select admin and see if that
will will run it.

HTH,

Hi Nass
Thanks for your post.

I followed through your response and came up with the following problems.

regsvr32 msxml3.dll Could not locate msxm13.dll file
regsvr32 dfrgui.dll Register successful
regsvr32 dfrgsnap.dll Register successful

I tried C:\Windows\inf =in the right Pane/Window select dfrg.inf and right
click on
it and select install. Unfortunately it did not work.

http://smallvoid.com/tweak/winnt/install.html#DEFRAG. I have followed the
suggestions of the page now and previously and have had not luck. Can you
advise how I can sort this out suggested on this website - If using WinXP set
the virtual memory to "System Managed Size".

I have downloaded and run the Superantivirus program for malware you
suggested. I have also downloaded and run the Comodo Antivirus.

Will reply to your second post in a minute.

Thanks for your help and suggestions
Regards
Ian
 
Hi Nass
Yes I have 4 user accounts on the machine. The reason for the defrag is
clutter and disk space. I am trying to clean up my machine so it works a
little faster too. Taking Norton Internet Security was a big leap forward in
running quicker.

I have admin rights to my machine so there should be no issue with permission.

Can you explain a little more how I should...."Try to right click it and
select run as then select admin and see if that will will run it.". Once I
understand I will try it. Where should I right click.

Thanks again for you advice.

Regards
Ian
 
Hi Ian,
= About the V memory try this:
Right click on " My Computer" Icon and select properties.
On the System Properties click on Advanced Tab then click on Settings Button
under Performance option.
Then click Advanced Tab under Virtual Memory click on the Change Button and
select this Radio Button:
(*) System managed size click [OK] then Reboot your machine.

= You may need to Uninstall some unwanted programs to gain some space.
System File Checker and Defrag need enough desk space to run.


= About how to run it as admin.
Click Start >> Search >> Files and Folders >> Type in:
defrag.exe click search and let the Dog sniff lol
When the search end you will have many defrag, please right click the one in
this directory:
C:\Windows\System32 and select Run As from the list.
On the Run As Window2 Select the radio button:
(*) The Following User and select your account.
Does it help?

PageDefrag v2.32
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/bb897426.aspx

If the above didn't help then it looks like infected and you need to run a
thorough cleaning and disinfection for this machine. I will be happy if you
let me have your Hijackthis log or you can send it to one of many forums on
the internet for analysis.

Download the Hijackthis and send the report to one of
many forums for analysis and troubleshooting or you can send it to me on my
email provided at the bottom:

I've checked the settings as per your entry below and they match so Data = Y

I uninstalled Defraggler as I was told at work that the Windows Defrag is
adequate so deleted for the additional space.

Can you advise how I check whether Prefetch is Enabled/Disabled.

Many thanks again.

Defraggler is a fine product. You are not short of disk space!

Start, Run, type "regedit" without quotes and click OK.

The EnablePrefetcher key has the following values:

3 = Application launch and boot enabled
To disable Prefetch, set the value to 0.

Prefetch is currently set to 3 (Enable). Should I be setting it to 0

I checked all my settings with yours below and the only one which differed
