defragmente

I have windows me. what happened was i try to defrag. the screen comes up,
but the screen is white instead of having all the little squares that change
color as the defrag goes along. then the perscent goes to 1 or 2% and then
keepes starting over. i have 81% free space. all other programs seem to run
ok. there is 63mb of ram, with 2gig of drive space. just can't get the defrag
to get past 2%. help plz. thank you bob

First, try running defrag in Safe Mode. You'll probably find it works OK.

If it runs ok in Safe Mode, then in all probability, you have some
background program/utility running in Normal Mode and you should take a look
at ScanDefrag v5.5

This is a FREE utility, written by several well respected contributors to
these News Groups and has been designed to run several original MS utilities
through a 'filter' which eliminates the usual junk which stops Defrag (and
Scandisk) from running properly in Normal Mode - as you are already
experiencing <g>

You can get ScanDefrag at either of the two sites below - and be sure to
read the associated notes for setting it up:

Good luck
