Hi Jim,
If you're unable to patch your Windows to the latest Service Pack version,
that is cause for concern, however if D: is your CD/DVD drive, then it is
indeed normal that you will not be able to defragment that drive letter.
What happens when you attempt to install Service Pack 2? Error message?

|| Hi Jim,

||
|| 1. To see if it's a software conflict: Temporarily disable Startup
|| programs one at a time, starting with Firewall, Antivirus, and ad
|| blockers using this utility: http://www.mlin.net/StartupCPL.shtml
|| or this method: http://www.pacs-portal.co.uk/startup_content.php
||
|| You can lookup what a program does before you disable it here:

||
|| 2. Run a virus scan at: http://housecall.antivirus.com and then
|| install MS AntiSpyware from: www.microsoft.com/spyware to
|| remove any Spyware or Adware which could clog up your PC.
||
|| 3. Click My Computer / Rightclick the Drive & Choose Properties
|| / Run the "Disk Cleanup..." / Next Click the "Tools" Tab and run
|| the "Error-Checking" and "Defragmentation" utilities.
||
|| 4. Go to the Windows Update site for everything under Critical and
|| Recommended: http://windowsupdate.microsoft.com Some games
|| require a patch: http://www.avault.com/pcrl/patches_list.asp?letter=a

||| hi, i posted a couple of weeks ago about the problems i've had with pro evo 5
||| (see below) and to no avail. i've noticed that on the cover it says only dvd
||| compatible and i don't know whether this is an issue as my pc can play dvd's.
||| i'm somewhat anxious to sort this problem out as my eight year old is very
||| disappointed at not being able to play what was the present he wanted more
||| than any other for christmas. does anyone out there have any ideas? thanks,
||| Jim.
|||
|||
||| i've just installed pro evolution soccer 5 for my son's christmas present
|||| and
|||| no problems with the actual installation. my graphics card (gforce
|||| fx5600)
|||| is compatible; we've installed directx9 and have got the latest driver for
|||| the card direct from nvidias site. yet when i click on the icon on the
|||| desktop i get a small hourglass symbol for about a second and then
|||| nothing.
|||| if i go to my computer and click on the pro evo icon and select autorun i
|||| get
|||| the pro evo list of options and select play and then get the same hour
|||| glass
|||| symbol and nothing again.
|||| i got my other son star wars battlefront 11 for the pc at the same time
|||| and
|||| this runs with no problems at all. any ideas? thanks, Jim
|||
||| Hmmm have you tried closing down any other applications in the background?
|||
||| You can do this by pressing CTRL+ALT+DEL then clicking on the Processes tab
||| and ending any program that's running as the current user NOT ones that are
||| listed System, or any Services.
|||
||| Make sure to save any unsaved data that may be running in those applications
||| first however.
|||
||| If that is successful try closing down groups of them to see if you can
||| locate the offending application.
