Disk Defragmenter: Stopped Defragmenting And The Information Changed To 'Analyzing Disk
Nov 23, 2009Is it normal for Disk Defragmenter to Analyze the disk AFTER it defragments? I know it does it before and then I click 'Defrag Now' and it proceeds to defrag my hard drive. But today I was watching it and noticed that all of a sudden it stopped defragmenting and the info changed to 'Analyzing disk...'.

Jun 18, 2008i am writing after i have just installed the new service pack 2 for windows vista and am just trying to suggest that with the disk defragmenter, as there isnt a lot that has been changed like the only things that have been changed are that you can now select volums to defrag. one thing that may help with this is to put a small graph (or GUI) similar to the windows xp one on it and maybe a timer if possible so that people know how long it is going to roughly be until it finishes, and a report message say as again in the previous version telling what amount of fragmentation there is and what files are fragmented. also another thing that i have noticed with vista is that it takes up a lot of memory and if possible would there be any chance of trying to make sure that vista uses less memory so that it can be more responsive. These sugestions are from over the internet that people would like to see

Disk Defragmenter, Nothing Happens
Mar 23, 2008For some strange reason my disk defragmenter has stopped working! I run it as usual from the start menu, it requests permission to continue, which I give, and then nothing happens! I've done a search and several others seem to have this problem as well, but no one's provided a sollution!
View 9 Replies View RelatedSP1 Big Improvement In Disk Defragmenter!
Mar 26, 2008One of my disappointments in Vista was lack of control over the defragmenting of individual disks/volumes and Microsoft must have been listening to someone! The Disk Defragmenter after SP1 now has a button to "Select Volumes" which can be used to select individual volumes for defragmenting or to remove disks from the automatic defragmenting schedule! I am very happy with that change. It probably was working fine before but I like having the control of my computer to deselect massive hard drives that contain media files transferred from other drives after recording and to only have my (C: system) and (G: recording drive) defragmented automatically.
View 9 Replies View RelatedDisk Defragmenter ACTUALLY NOT WORKING
Mar 23, 2008disk defragmenter not running has been told it actually is running in the background, well mine isn't! I open disk defragmenter from the options menu and get the screen and it tells me that performance could be improved by defragmenting, so I click the defragment now button, select the drive I want defragmented and then okay. The screen says defragmenting for about 3 seconds (with the spinning wheel going) and then the prompt returns to what it originally said. I've looked in the system monitor and defrag is not running! What can I do to get disk defragmenter to run? I know I can install a third party defragmenter but that is only a way around the problem, not a solution for the problem.

Options For Disk Defragmenter?
Mar 23, 2008Disk defragmenter seems to only show options for *when* to defragment. How can I access options of *which* disks I can choose to defragment, and see information as to how fragmented they are initially, so as to determine whether I want to defragment them in the first place?

May 26, 2008I am new to this forum, but need some advice on the disk defragmenter. I tried to defragment the disk last night and left it on all night. In the morning, the disk defragmenter 'still' says... this may take a few minutes to a few hours. The disk defragmenter is ususally on a schedule which is every wednesday, but I am beginning to think it has never been defragmented. How do I defragement the disk in this situation... and hopefully rectify the automatic scheduled defragementation.
View 6 Replies View RelatedDisk Defragmenter Will Not Automatically Run-- Ultimate
Feb 9, 2009I can set when I want Disk Defragmenter to run and what partitions to defrag. And I check the box to run automatically and with that window either closed (okay) or left open and it indicating that the drives will be defraged NOTHING happens and when I open up the window it still says what time it will be defraged next even though that time has passed and it says NEVER for when it was last done. Any way to straighten this out? Since MS chose to make defraging progress an unknown I really don't like running it while attended--unless I just go off and do something else. Does _anyone_ ID this and know how to get it fixed?

Defragmenter Is Missing
May 22, 2008Vista's defragmenter has been on my computer since Vista was installed, but recently I tried to defragment my drive, and got a message saying the program wasn't installed. I think the first time I noticed its absence was right after I replaced my hard drive. The instructions for installing it don't make any sense, looking more like XP instructions than Vista. how I can find and reinstall the Vista defragmenter?

Can I see, like I did with XP, a graph, what it's gonna do and see how the progress is going? or do I just have to watch the little ring going around and hope all is well with no idea if it will "take from a few minutes or a few hours"?

May 25, 2009I ran a defragmenting session last night to clear up some space, and for some reason my C drive has dropped from 33.1 GB to 29.1. This has happened to me once before, but the other two recent defragments I've ran cleared up a ton of space. I honestly have no idea where the other three GBs have gone and I have not downloaded anything. I run a disk cleanup every night.
View 9 Replies View RelatedGUI Defragmenter .why Doesnt Work
Aug 24, 2009Last week I bought a new Acer Aspire 6350 w/ Vista - My 1st Vista machine. After uninstalling all the Acer bloatware, I open the GUI defragger, it analyzes C: for 2 secs (doesn't even mention analyzing the other 2 partitions) then it says "your file system performance can be improved". I defrag it the C:, it takes 45 mins or so and done. I go to my wife's Dell Vista laptop and go to the GUI defragger. It analyzes all 3 of her partitions. Weird, mine only analyzed C: for 2 secs. I then go back to my new Acer and run the GUI degragmenter again. After a 2 sec C: analysis it says "your file system......." again. Then when I go the command line defrag, run "defrag c: -a" it says I don't need to defrag. Bottom line is the GUI defragmenter doesn't work on this new laptop. It doesn't scan all partitions, when started it runs for a bit, then it just stops and it goes back to saying " your file system performance can be improved".

Aug 22, 2009I bought an Acer Aspire 6530 last week. I noticed whenever I go to the GUI disk defragmenter (My Computer>Right click C:>Properties>Tools>Degfragmentation) that it ALWAYS says I need to defrag the drive even after I did did one. But when I do the command line defrag (Start>All Programs>Accessories, says I don't need to. This happens everytime even after I run the defragmenter. So why does
the GUI one says I need to while the command line one says I dont. Isnt the GUI and Command Line one basically the same?

View 4 Replies View RelatedPerfectDisk System File Defragmenter, Boot Screen Increased
Apr 5, 2009I just reformated and noticed that it took Vista an average of 12 seconds for the boot screen to finish loading (I didn't count before or after that, just from when I see the green bar to when it finishes). After installing PerfectDisk 10 and doing an entire disk defragmentation, the time stayed about the same. But when I did a boot time defragment of my system files, the loading time for the boot screen actually increased to 40 seconds! I've rebooted about 5 times to measure the times and I've gotten up to 60 seconds as well!Has anyone else who uses PerfectDisk had similar experience? Did the boot time get better over time or did it stay the same? Also, in the program settings, it asks me whether I want PerfectDisk to manage my layout.ini file or if I want Windows to handle them; does anyone know which is preferred?

Apr 17, 2009I want to do is search by date or type of software. Actually I am searching for a recently created word file. All any search engine does now is find a program when you know its name. If you know a programs name you generally know were it is so Vista's search engine is useless. Lets make it clear it doesn't even do that. On my H drive I have a file named Zahainya when I asked Vista to search my H drive for a file named Zahainya it comes up empty. Moreover Vista admits it searches slowly because it asked if it can index my files every time and I say yes and still the search is at least 5X slower then XP and it can't find anything anyway.

Also I have a "Interactive Services Detection" error that forced me to disable the service, does anybody know how to fix it instead of disabling the service? I could just do another re-install but I'd like to avoid that right now.

May 17, 2008I have two computers running Vista Home Premium. When Service Pack 1 came out, my desktop, which is a clone I built myself, downloaded and installed Service Pack 1 without any problem, but my Dell Inspiron E1705 laptop seems oblivious to Service Pack 1's existence. Although automatic update is on both computers with similar settings (full automatic update), and the laptop has downloaded a number of updates since then and keeps telling me the computer is up to date, I can't help wondering why Service Pack 1 hasn't downloaded and installed, and whether I should install it manually or just assume the computer has a good reason to not install it and leave it alone.
