Analysis of disk for Windows Defrag constantly keeps running even if I disable Windows Defrag

I don't know how long it went but saw this when I went recently to the Disk Defragmenter. It says scan drive 1 0f 2(C:)...)

It says below this: it may take a few minutes. But he never seems if stop analyzing - the little circle keeps spinning to show that it is an analysis. Any way to stop this analysis? It stops if I click on run task and then it will boot defragment.

I have: Windows Vista Home Premium and IE9

PS: How long should a defrag take? I've always had the set on auto and now I put it on manual.

What I'm doing is that you shouldn't have touched it at all.

An entry by you is not necessary in the first place.

Put the settings back the way you found it.

See you soon.

  • Is it possible to make a password reset disk for windows 7 by using windows 8?

    Original title: password reset disk

    Is it possible to make a password reset disk for windows 7 by using windows 8. The reason why I ask this is because our Toshiba satellite laptop was stolen when our House was robbed. Fortunately the police recovered the laptop, but the password has been changed and we cannot use it. In the meantime, we have replaced the old laptop with a new one that has windows 8. I made a password reset disk using this, but it won't work on the old laptop.

    any advice would be great

    Best regards, Ian

    Hi Ian,

    You can create a password reset disk only when you are able to log on or access Windows 7 computer and after you have created a password for the same.

    Windows 8 password reset disk can be used only in Windows 8 computer where you created the password and not for Windows 7.

    You must create a Windows password reset disk before you forgot your password. You must also create a new password reset disk when you change your password in Windows.

    If you the administrator password are changed and is not a password reset disk or another administrator account, you will not be able to change or reset the password.

    For more information, see the articles:

    Hello... I know there have been similar questions, but...

A bad cluster in my hard disk was forcing me to have the hard drive replaced. I could find no longer reinstall drive came with the laptop and one installed the techie seems to be a trial version for 30 days. I borrowed a disc of relocation from a friend, but it was rejected because it was an older version of professional that was on my computer. I contacted Dell, but I was told there was nothing they could do. It is impossible (at least it was for me) to get a response from Microsoft, much less a solution.

    Dell (or Microsoft) is not a means to check that it is the computer that I bought and all I want to do is get a license key for this computer from my serial number or the Express Service Code, or other?

  • My new laptop has crashed and disk backup does not work, can download a boot disk for Windows 7, I hit legitimate?

    My Acer 5745 laptop crashed, my backup boot drive does not work. The laptop was running Windows 7 when I bought new in November 2010. Y at - it somewhere that I can download a floppy or a recovery disc?  'The Source' store where I bought will not help, they said they had to go back to Acer and it could take up to two months to return to a charge of about $170.

    Thanks for any help, someone might be able to give.

    A laptop bought at that date will still be under warranty, there should be no costs involved, contact Acer technical support.

    I guess by the backup startup disk, you mean the set of recovery disks you did when you first used the PC?

  • Must system image file be in the same place, that it was created for Windows 7 to detect when you perform the system restore?

    When you restore system files and settings from a system image, the WindowsImageBackup folder must be in the location that it was created?

    -For example -.

    I create an image system on an external HARD drive, then later I want to do a restore of the system from this image, the WindowsImageBackup folder must be in the same place, it was created (in this example, the root of the external HARD disk) for Windows 7 to detect?

    Hi Keylonta,

    Yes, it should be in the same hard disk and if it is not listed in the system restore point it is not possible to locate or detect the folder "WindowsImageBackup.
