Try this.

START > Run... > %windir%\system32\compmgmt.msc /a

If that opens without error, select Disk Defragmenter in the tree view.
Try defragmenting.

If that works ok. Your dfrg.msc is damaged. To make a new
undamaged copy of dfrg.msc do the following.

If Computer Management is still open, close it.
START > Run... > MMC
File > Add/Remove Snap-in...
Click the Add... button.
Select Disk Defragmenter; click Add; click Close, click OK.
Do not select Disk Defragmenter in the tree view.
Select Disk Defragmenter in the right hand pane.
Action > New Window from here
Close the original Console Root window.
Maximise the Console1 - [Disk Defragmenter] window.
File > Save As... > %windir%\system32\dfrg.msc

If that's too much, just copy dfrg.msc from another Windows XP machine.
