TheTerrorist_75 Posted December 25, 2004 Report Share Posted December 25, 2004 Re-register the defragmenters snap-in files, and the basic registry entries.First open up a Command Prompt, this can be found at: Start -> All Programs -> Accessories -> Command PromptChange into your windows\system32 directory. Your windows directory will be either windows or winnt. Type: cd \windows\system32Register the defrag components, by typing: [regsvr32 dfrgsnap.dll [regsvr32 dfrgui.dllAt this stage, you may find the defragmenter works. If not, there is one more step you can do.Using Windows Explorer browse to your windows\inf folder. In there you will find a file called dfrg.inf right click this file, and select Install.Restore the Windows Defragmenter (XP, 2000, 2003) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
