Nothing happens when clicking on Defragment or Analyze.

With XP SP2 the DCOM Server Process Launcher service needs to be running
for Defrag to work.

Open Services...
Start | Run | Type: services.msc | Click OK |
Scroll down to and double click DCOM Server Process Launcher |
Set Startup type to Automatic | Click OK | Close Services |
Reboot

DCOM Server Process Launcher

[[ Note the following things will fail if this service is not running:
The builtin defrag will fail to work, and if running defrag from the
command line one gets this error:
Windows cannot connect to the Disk Defragmenter engine ]]
