I asked about this a while ago, and I don't recall
getting a good explanation, and meanwhile it went
away so I dropped the matter. Now today it appeared
again (as of course we knew it would)......and this
is it:

http://bellsouthpwp.net/b/i/billurie/MMCmsg.jpg
I get this message when I try to do a DEFRAG on that drive.
It seems to be telling me that I don't have the right
access, or enough room, or something. But I have 5 GB
of unused space on that drive, and I'm the sole owner
and user of this whole machine.

Please advise, and thank you.
The message says nothing about not having enough room. 5 GB may or may
not be enough; defrag works much better with around 15% free space
(although that is not a hard and fast rule).
Instead, it says that the file might be missing (hard to believe) or that
you may not have sufficient permissions.
So, what are the permissions on the file?

Jim
Jim, I've used defrag right there for 18 months
with whatever "permissions" came with the system.
One would think that the defaults would be still
the same....certainly positive for the one and
only user and owner. And I have well over 25% free
space.
Bill
Yes, one would think so. However, if I had this problem, I would want to
know what the permissions are.
Malware can do things like this without your knowledge.
