Windows XP's Defrag

Recommended Posts

I am trying to get Windows XP's defrag working. I know the answer is simple, and I know the answer is out there. I got it working at one time, by using a tip that was stored on the 911cd.net forums. As we all know, the 911cd.net forums are no longer working.

I have the MMC working, and the Defrag console comes up nicely. When I click on the Analyze or Defragment buttons, I get the message

Disk Defragmenter could not start.

I get the same message on the command line version.

The answer to getting BOTH working is the same, I just CAN'T remember what it is, and it is bugging me.

Anyone? Any ideas? Please??!!

Sure thing. I don't know if this will be of much help, but the answer to my problem was in the PAGINGFILES registry value, as outlined on this link:

MMC Tutorial

My defrag failed to work, and once I set this value properly, I was able to get it to work.

What problem are you having?
