I am having a problem defragging my computer. I have Windows 98SE. I have come out of everything and switched off the broadband modem etc. The only items left open are 'systray' and 'explorer'. I have attempted to do it 3 times over the last week but it will defrag to 51% and then stops. Even if I look at the 'Legend' there is no movement. I've left it for 2 or 3 hours at 51% before cancelling it. Can anyone help?? :sad:

Hello there, I have tried to defrag in the 'safe mode' but again it stopped at 51% it stayed like this for 4 hours and then moved to 52%. After another couple of hours it went back to 51%. Can anyone else come up with any suggestions. Many thanks

I had the same problem so I looked around and found PowerDefrag at this site: http://www.powerdefrag.com/. It works for me.
