Defrag restarts

Suddenly Defrag won't get past 10%
no changes in the system, so there is no reason for this.

I've turned off everything I can imagine...

Ideas anyone?

Terry, try it in Safe Mode.
Restart and start tapping on the F8 key when the logo appears. This will
bring you to a black screen with a number of options. Select #3. The next
screen should be your desktop, but it will be either fuzzy or in a different
colour, which is Safe Mode. At this point, proceed with a Scan and/or
Defrag. Once finished, restart so that you return to Normal mode.
If for whatever reason that does not solve your problem, try a different
program by downloading either GeoDisk from
http://mvps.org/PracticallyNerded/Files/GEODisk.zip

or ScanDefrag from http://www.blueorbsoft.com/scandefrag/

Both of these programs appear to manage the closing process of any open
programs.

Good Luck

Get the free ScanDefrag. It is the most advanced disk maintenance
program there is. It runs Disk Cleanup, ScanDisk, and Disk
Defragmenter. It's easy to setup and use, and it can deal with
problems like "drive's contents have changed: restarting...".
Get it and read about all the options it has that you can use.

It is not unusual to see Defrag restart a number of times.=20
It is , however, unusual to see ScanDisk restart.
This is why I suggest starting it at bedtime and letting it run =
overnight.
Please, email "The ScanDefrag Team" if you have any problems using our =
program. Your problem, will be properly attended to. And we assure you, =
that every attempt will be made to resolved it..
To see how to email us, read the ScanDefrag "Readme" file, using =
ScanDefrag under the "Help" menu.
