Re: Defrag Won't Start

Tech-Archive recommends: Fix windows errors by optimizing your registry

First off, some disk space is needed to do a defrag. Do you have any free
space?

before I get started I want to point out I don't know too much about
technical things such as files and such to get anything working.

Now for my problem.

I try to start Defrag, It opens up and everything, when I hit analyze or
Defrag, it comes up instantly with an error message saying: Disk
Defragmenter
could not start.

that is all it says, and my computer is really hurting, and needs a
defrag,
badly, since my virus scanner software went to trash as well.
