hi im trying to defrag my comp, im using windows me os.
the problem is it only defrags to 10% and no further, then says disc drives changed and drops back down to 0%.

is this right? if not does anyone know why this could be?

thanks :)

theres something running in the background

do it in safe mode........also use ctrl alt and delete to stop things running that you dont need running .......in ME you only need explorer and the systemtray running

oh right thankyou melthebell :) i will go and try that now.

if you have icons for antivirus etc in your system tray....near the clock, right click / exit / close em

antivirus is the worst for stopping defrag running correctly

thanks for the help mel its now done :)

c00l

what did you do? shut things down?

i did the end task thing, left the two in what you said and it worked fine after. i wouldnt have had a clue to do that. im just learning all about these bloody things, its great! (sometimes)

thankyou :)

Make sure to reboot your system (or you'll have no AV etc until you do;)).

thanks for the offer for help :) i really need it sometimes, these things can be really confusing at times (especialy for my little brain). you'll probably see a few topics from me on this part.
