When I try to open and run my disk defragmenter, a message comes up with the following:
"MMC cannot open the file CWINDOWS/system32/dfrg.msc.This may be because the file does not exist, is not as MMC console, or was created by a later version of MMC. This may also be because you do not have sufficient rights to the files."I really have no idea what this means.
It says that TOTAL SIZE = 39 GB And Free Space = 5 GB Which means that the size of all files on C is 34 GB But when I select all files including Hidden files and Right Click> Properties, its size of all files is only 27 GB.I did clear recycle bin and disk defragmenter C, but still the same. So why is that?

View 14 Replies View Relatedgo to start > you click all programs > you select system tools > and click disk defragmemter. Disk defragmenter opens up. You click analyze. It comes up with 'You do not need to defragment this volume' You click report. You find out that the disk it only 3% fragmented. The bar that displays estimated disk usage before disk degramentation is mostly colored red, except for blocks of blue here and there. You look down at the bottom and realize that red stands for 'fragmented files' You say to your self, The report said disk did NOT need defragmenting. The bar clearly shows the disk is fragmented.

View 8 Replies View RelatedI have been attempting to defragment my hard drive a multitude of times with both command-line and from windows tools. When i analyze the drive, i get the report that i need to defrag the volume, i do so...only to wait for less than 2-5 mins and receive a report stating the fragmentation status of the drive, which was exactly the same amount of fragmentation the analysis reported!

View 4 Replies View RelatedI hope this is a simple problem, but each time I try to defrag my C drive, or even just analyze it, windows says it is out of memory and Disk Defragmenter could not start. However I am able to defrag the D drive just fine.
I noticed my defrag isn't working when i tried it and it says this Disk Defragmenter has detected that Chkdsk is scheduled to run on the volume(C).
View 2 Replies View RelatedOn our other machine we have a 70 GB hard drive. It is partioned C: 20 GB and D: 50. All the program files are on C. When I try to defrag C I get the message "Volume C has only 4% free space available for use by Disk Defragmenter...it requires at least 15%". I uninstalled some inessential programs and got it up to 9%. In my wifes user account there is one folder My Pictures with 2.9GB. Can I move that onto the D partion to create the needed space?

Instead of the page or line moving downwards smoothly, it ripples.this happens whether she uses the built-in mouse or one plugged into a port.It's a PS2, if that is of any use.She has a new optical mouse and XP found the software for it but the rippling happens with the new mouse as well.Any ideas would be most gratefully received.The Notebook isn't here with me.We've run Spybot, Disk Cleanup, Defragmenter, and a scan when the computer is switched on. She uses Zone Alarm and AVG Antivirus.I downloaded XTeq Setup and set the number of lines to scroll (3) but the same thing happens.
when i run chdisk for errors in win 2000 by right clicking the hard drive icon and then clicking properties of c: harddrive, then tools tab, then click the check now button, and in the check disk options ticking "automatically fix file system errors" and clicking ok I get this message "The disk check could not be performed because exclusive access to the drive could not be obtained. Do you want to schedule the disk check to occur the next time you restart the computer."If i chose yes to that above it performs the diskcheck at reboot and when windows loads i go back to the checkdisk and i get the same problem again.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI cant seem to get the defragmenter working.I have searched and did some troubleshooting so ill explain. My C: is dirty. CHKDSK runs at bootup every time.When I go to defrag, I get the message: CHKDSK is scheduled to run, please run CHKDSK /f.Here is were it gets complicated. I have run CHKDSK /f and it doesnt do anything. I have tried to disable CHKDSK, nothing. Its not in startup under msconfig, I even tried reediting the registry for a non startup CHKDSK. The problem is basically that CHKDSK doesnt work. Its looping back and telling my computer that it has not run when it has.When it runs, I have some unreadable files. 4 to be exact. I have searched and troubleshot numerous things, I even reformated my C: drive. Ran Anti Virus, all came back negative.
