Do you have admin priveleges on the system?

hi team .

ive tried to defrag in safe mode.but now it says cant connect to the defragmenter engine.

to explain where im at .i went to accesoreys.

sys tools pressed defrag.

and now it dosent show the progress bar.so i went to command prompt and typed .

defrag c: enter .and it said another appli is using this appli.

sp perhaps it is defragging but not showing a progress bar.

i tried the fix from kellys korner

but the results are the same.

has any one had this problem before .

sorry yes i do have admin privelidges

in all the time ive used a compt it has never happened before .

and i think ive only seen the problem once.on the board.

and i didnt save the fix because i didnt think it would happen to me

you know out of sight out of mind

but i appreciate your replys.

im on my way to microsoft support.

so ile post back on my pregress

thanks

Hey Marty:

Have you tried CHKDSK? Worth a try to check for errors and repair if needed.

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 Prompt

Change into your windows\system32 directory. Your windows directory will be either windows or winnt. Type:

cd \windows\system32

Register the defrag components, by typing:

[regsvr32 dfrgsnap.dll

[regsvr32 dfrgui.dll

At 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.
