Defragmentation Does Not Loading Bar
Feb 24, 2010
i have a vista home premium with a 138GB HD (82GB full, 56GB free) on an HP pavillion computer. my computer is about 2-3years old.
1) how long does it take to defragmentation for the 1st time? the last time i did it (and the 1st time, with all the info above, my computer didn't finish even after 12hrs+. unfortunately, defragmentation does not have some loading bar, so i could not tell if the thing just stopped or it was just taking a super long time.)
2) also, when i did defragmentation for the 1st time, my computer started losing free space! what's going on?

Loaded Accelerator crashed whole system had to do repair of FSX and start over again with continual stoppage. Don't know where to go from here. It worked fine with XP

First after doing an ordinary restart, my vista (ultimate) gets stuck for a LONG time at the loading screen and does not move, with the green loading bars. this happens every time i try to restart. i pop in my original vista disk and start the repair process...it says it found something wrong with my startup and it found what was wrong and that it was repaired. after this i get the message NTLDR, which is a whole nother problem. i ran the below to fix the NTLDR...
1. Put the Windows Vista installation disc in the disc drive, and then start the computer.
2. Press a key when you are prompted.
3. Select a language, a time, a currency, a keyboard or an input method, and then click Next.
4. Click Repair your computer............

Has anyone defragmented a hard drive under Vista My Ultimate says 'it will take anything from a few minutes to a few hours' I rather liked the XP defragmentation in that it at least gave you a general idea of how it was going. Does anyone know of a way to get Vista to show some sort of 'progress' display?

I have a laptop with 250 gb hd. Haven't defragged in over a year, and I have almost filled the drive and then moved a lot of files to an ext. hd, several times, so it should be well overdue for a defrag. Vista Defragmenter analyzed and told me there was no need for a defrag. I started the Defrag anyway, and that was about 4 hours ago and it's still going. This is the 2nd and last time I will ever use the Vista Defragmenter - the only other time I did it took overnight before it turned off, probably 12 hours or more.
My questions are:
1) Is it okay to click "Cancel Defragmentation".
2) Can I use the computer while it is defragging? At least for web surfing?
3) Why do you think it said that I don't need defrag, and then when I choose to defrag anyway it's not done after 4 -5 hours.
4) I read in a thread somewhere that anytime the computer is used during a defrag, causes the defrag to restart.

I have a rather peculiar problem. The system I'm trying to defrag is currently 51% fragged, and, as you can imagine, that's just much too high. I've tried defragging using both Vista's built in defragger and the software Defraggler, but each time, the fragmentation level goes UP by a percent or two when it's finished. I've never encountered defrag issues on this level before. The system is running Vista Ultimate 32-bit, with quite a bit of hardware power behind it. If you need specs, ask (I'm not actually at that computer right now, else I'd post them now).

How do I view the progress of a HD Defrag in Windows Vista Home Prmium SP1 x64. In Win XP you could watch the progress by clicking on the window while the drive was being defragged.

The disk defragmentor that came with Vista shows only a circulating icon as it progresses. Is there a defragmentor which shows a) how badly the disk looks iniitally and b) how the defragmenting is progressing (as in my old XP system?

i was wondering if it is possible to bring the old-fashion Disk Defragmentation which we used previously in Windows XP
i mean this one:
instead of this one:
the problem facing me when using Disk Defragmentation in Windows Vista is i cant see reports or see the graph of my disk before and after the Defragmentation process. besides, i feel more comfortable with the old Defragmentation appearance found in Windows XP.
is it possible to bring back the Disk Defragmentation appearance in Windows Vista

I recently installed a beta version (build 7000) of this O.S. The installation went very well and on a previously formatted disc, completed in 20 minutes. All of my Vista software was installed without problems. I realise that this a beta version, and as such may be subject to quite a number of improvements and bug fixes during the next few months. My initial impression though is that this a good system, but not very much better than Vista. There is an on board defragmentation tool, which operates automatically, in addition to spectacular new desktops, but overall it looks more like the result of a Vista service pack. Being quite satisfied with my currentVista ultimate, I am at this stage definitely not prepared to spend money again on this "new" operating system as soon as it appears in the shops.

I cannot always load windows Vista Home in normal mode.
I did a log and it seems to hang here:
Did not load driver @nettun.inf,%6to4mp.displayname%;Microsoft 6to4 Adapter
There are a number of these listed.
I can boot into safe mode, I have run a registry check using regcure, but no joy. I still cannot boot into normal mode, it just gets to the bar going accross and nothing happens.
I have SP1 installed.
The problem appeared to occur after trying to upgrade AVG Antivirus, but I removed this, cleaned out all entries pertaining to AVG in Registry, but this did not solve the problem.

a friend pointed this out to me as a great program to use. I download it..and it doesn't work. They don't have an official Vista build yet, but they have a page that tells you how to work around it. I think I've done everything right, main thing is that Vista's driver signature stops it, b/c Phoenix Labs hasn't purchased one yet, so I disable that and all should work fine, but I get a failed file error instead. I assume it's from a corrupt file, when downloading, but I've tried several downloads and nothing worked. So anyone have any ideas on how to get it working, or anyone have a program that works the same as PG?

i got The Elder Scrolls Oblivion game of the year edition, a few weeks ago and have been having problems installing on my computer since. I put the disk in and nothing happens, the computer does not read it. when i go into computer and double click the dvd drive it should be in, a message appears asking me to insert the disk. I bought this computer from pc world around two months ago. my computer runs 64bit vista im wondering if this could be the problem? or could it be my graphics card has not got the performance to play the game therefor my computer does not run it. iv done a restore of where i turn everything off in the background to see if the disk will be read, and the same old thing happens.
iv been wanting to play this game for a year or so now and cannot seem to fix the problem. iv spoked to the oblivion technical help service and they still cannot conclude the problem. also i rang pc world up and they told me to try to speek to the game designers and ask of a patch or online download where by i can download straight to my computer. i so far cannot find any patch or download to take from oblivions site, and have not found the number to get in contact with the game designers.

I have been unable to load and use itunes because of a DEP message that pops up on screen shutting down the program.
I have done the following:
*uninstalled the programs itunes and quicktime
*uninstalled the programs completely using Crogram files - the additional way of uninstalling.
* reinstalled/uninstalled both programs about 4 times
* reinstalled quicktime as a stand alone program
* used Windows installer clean up
I can't turn DEP off by selecting itunes and putting into the marked exception box because an error message tells me that itunes MUST operate with DEP. It will not drag it into the box.

I was hoping that some of you guys could help me with a problem. As the title says, my screen goes completely black after the loading screen with the green loading bar, but before the usual windows vista circle is supposed to appear. I have also tried to use a vista x64 recovery disk. Here I only get the blue background a mouse I can move around on the screen, meaning I have no options to choose from. Does anyone know what the problem might be? And if so, how to possibly fix it?

I've tried everything to fix my Dell Inspiron 1545 running Windows Vista Home Premium 32bit and I can't seem to work out what to do anymore. My laptop automatically did some updates earlier today and I rebooted as advised, unfortunately it failed to load up at all and I got a screen telling me windows has failed to start. Problem could be due to a recent change of hardware or software. The only recent change being the updates. I've tried to do a system repair, which hasn't worked. All it does is load a blank screen with, eventually a movable mouse cursor, nothing else happens after. I've tried to load from the boot cd also, but I have the same problem.
The white bar loads, message saying windows is loading files then as soon as its passed the blank screen and mouse cursor come up. I can't load anything in safe mode as it just comes up with the windows failed to start message. I'm at a loss, I think. And if I can't reinstall windows then it looks like my laptop is messed up completely. All I haven't tried is perhaps loading safe mode with command prompt and trying to do a system restore, and Repair Install For Vista this, which I'm not quite sure I understand fully. I might have had SP1 installed already. Anyone got anything they can chuck my way to advise me to do? I haven't had the laptop all THAT long.

When i start up my vista has problems loading things and can pause. Yet sometimes it lets you log on, but when you log after 20 seconds it can freeze(but the arrow moves around the screen). I can get on safe mode perfectly(I am using now). This is the second time it happened, and the 1st time i had to format, and i am not willing to do that again.

This isn't a big deal but it can be quite irritating. I have a brand new machine with Windows Vista Business running on it. This is the main machine in the study and has a Belkin router connected to it via a cat5 cable. The rest of the PCS/Laptops in the house run from the routers wireless. Everything is set up and internet explorer loads automatically on each machine.
However, on this newer machine, when I click on Internet Explorer, it takes around 8-10 seconds to load the homepage, i.e google. On all of the other machines, its pretty much instant. The other machines are running XP/Vista Home and Vista Basic. They all load the webpage instantly................

When I click on Windows Update, it just hangs with the circle cursor spinning. All that opens up is a white box, and nothing happens. I had no issues running Update 2 days ago. It just started this yesterday out of the blue. IDK if it is related, but I also can't update drivers in Device Mgr. It just keeps searching the web for drivers, and nothing ever happens.
