Cannot run chkdsk and subsequently cannot run the defragmentation

• When I run the Defragmenter I end up with large blocks of fragmented files that will not move much matter how many times I run.

  The report telling me I need to defragment this volume.  Total of 20% of fragmentation, 41% free space fragmentation 0% file fragmentation.  The last time I've run the defragmentation tool I don't remember this existing problem.  I think I would have noticed these large areas of red and he questioned.  It was about six weeks ago.  My computer worked more slow and sometimes simply hanging.  I downloaded Firefox a few weeks ago, but slowdown problems existed before this and I have not downloaded anything else except a program to deal with DOCX. files that do not seem to help me so I got rid of him. That's four months ago or not.  I ran so many tests I can think... hard drive check... cleaning disc etc...  I don't know how I got in this mess, nor how to correct.  I seems to me just that I close up with a disk full of files that are fragmented if I can't find a solution.  Any help would be appreciated more with gratitude.

  Please answer the following questions:

  1. What is the size of your hard drive (C :) and the amount of free space is left? (Open my computer, right-click on the icon for drive Local (c), select properties and declare what you see in the 'Général' tab for the used space and free space.)
  2. Even if you have the properties of the State open, (c) if the box down to "Allow the Indexing Service to index this disk for fast searching of files" is checked or unchecked.
  3. Right click on desktop, select Properties, and select the tab "system restore."  Is the drive (C :) followed by the system restore?  Assuming that the answer is 'Yes', make sure the drive (C :) is selected and click on the 'Settings' button.  What is reported as the amount of used disk space?  For now, simply "Cancel" your way out of these settings screens.
  4. You use integrated Windows XP Disk Defragmenter or are you a 3rd - party for this program?
  5. What version of XP, including the service pack is installed?
  6. What do you use to apply antivirus (include the version) and your membership is up-to-date?
  7. Have you scanned your system recently with MalwareBytes Anti-Malware or SUPERAntiSpyware?

• When running the defragmentation, showing a bar with files which is displaced

  While you run Disk Defragmenter to botom of window bar indicates progress and moved the files. I looked at the names of files that is displaced, and some are very strange. Recently a few names were similar.  names cannot be exactly as show, but very similar. Really not sure if this may indicate any adware or spyware.

  You can see the files in your browser cache internet or other temporary files.  For best results, you need to "clean" your as much as possible before you run Disk Defragmenter.

  You can use the built-in Disk Cleanup tool (start > run > cleanmgr > OK) or an application such as Ccleaner or ATF-Cleaner.  With any of these cleaning products, including the built-in Disk Cleanup tool, you will need to exercise judgment a little in what you remove.  Do not use the 'Register' tool that comes with Ccleaner.  Do not delete the files 'Prefetch' offered by ATF-Cleaner.

  You can delete your temporary Internet (aka browser cache) files directly from the browser.  For IE, start by clicking Tools > Internet Options.  Where to go from there depends on what version of Internet Explorer you have.  For Firefox, Options > advanced > network > clear now (under storage offline)

  If you have multiple user accounts, log on to each of them and use the disk cleaner of your choice.

   

• Error message, not enough of disk space to run the defragmentation

  Cleaning disc already used and removed unused programs.  Still get popups that say "disc not enough disk space for number of updates available" "not enough disk space to run defrag" "not enough disk space to run the system restore" I'm positive, I have more than 200 MB of free space on c:, (if updates are somewhere on my computer and using all the space?)  This xp computer is not much used, and certainly didn't have the amount of used space?

  Anyone know where is the problem?

  None of this has worked.  What has worked is that I discovered that Norton Antivirus used up to 57% of my c drive.  Entered their downloads of programs and the program downloaded 2012, which automatically deleated the old Norton application.  Apparently, whenever the old application done an update to download, it would wipe out not at the same time old files is no longer needed.

  in any case, I now 57% free space.

  Thank you

  Start, the cursor to "all programs", click on accessories, System Tools. You see them on the list? If you do, right-click on them and select either, to pin to the taskbar of the tasks, start menu or desktop.

  Hi & thanks for the reply; I did as you said, but none were in the Accessories/System Tools folder.

  OK, try this, click on start, computer, click once on the C:\ Drive, then right click and select "Properties". Click on the tab "Tools". Do you not see there the defragmentation tool.

  Also, you can run the SFC.exe (System File Checker) tool to fix a corrupted user profile.

• After you run the XP Disk Defragmenter, system crashes or runs very slowly

  When I run Disk Defragmenter after its finished to start my computer hangs up and slow real execution.

  Also, some installed start programs acting weird. like taking a lot of time to load up or when I use them that they cling

  or stop responding all together.

  To work the way they are supposed to do, I have to uninstall and then reinstall. Why is this happening?

  I thought that the operation of Disk Defragmenter only deleted of fragmented files that are no longer in use, or not is more necessary.

  So nobody knows what is happening here?

  Thank you.

  I agree with Gerry Cornel, this stemmed not Disk Defragmenter.

  There is nothing wrong with the Disk Defragmenter - it works well for what it was intended: temporary, occasional use. If anything, it gets abused and forced to do jobs he was supposed to never do, like defragmentation huge disks that get heavy use and therefore are strongly defragmented, etc..

  Here is a routine that I've compiled over the years to troubleshoot issues with Disk Defragmenter that proved very useful if you want to continue with this problem:

  There are several reasons why the built-in Defragmenter may not work correctly:

  0. it is malware on the system. Solution: Run an anti-virus control and also a spyware check.

  1. the disk is too full (you need at least 15% free space, sometimes 20%). Solution: Delete files unnecessary and programs until you have more than 20% free space.

  2. the disc is damaged and must be repaired. Solution:

  a. open "My computer" and right-click on the drive that you want to disable frag.
  b. Select 'Properties' and click on 'tools '.
  c. Select "Check now" to check the drive for errors.
  d. Select the two options and click on 'start '.

  (This can take time and can restart the PC so that it can do the check at boot time. Be patient and let it complete).

  3. Disk Defragmenter can be altered, needing a system restore to fix it. Solution:

  a. start - all programs - Accessories - System Tools - System Restore (click here to open);
  b. Select a good restore point before you start having problems with Disk Defragmenter.
  c. start the restore process and let an end (descriptive name of something restore operation as "Repair Defrag").

  4. There are other programs that run the Defragmenter interruption integrated. Solution:
  a. close all running programs.
  b. If you think there may be some programs that run in the background.
  c. press Ctrl + Alt + Delete and
  d. Select "start Task Manager".
  e. under the 'Applications' tab, you will find a list of all running applications - you can close these by selecting "end task."

  5. If still no luck, try disabling the screen saver when you run Disk Defrag (you should very well leave the system only when running the built-in defragmentation utility).

  6. If still no go, try to run the defragmenter in Mode without failure. If she runs, something interferes with her and stalking interference may not be easy. Note: Some versions of Windows 7 disables the ability to run the Defragmenter built-in in safe mode. If disabled, it will say when you try to start it in safe mode.

  7 Disk Defragmenter may no longer be on the system or is damaged while it needs a re - install. Solution: Reinstall the built-in function.

  There are several ways to re - install the built-in Defragmenter:

  A:
  a. open the menu 'start '.
  b. type '% Windir%\Inf' in the 'Search' box and press 'Enter '.
  c. in the window that opens, find the file named "dfrg.inf.
  d. right-click on "dfrg.inf" and "install".

  B:
  a. go into "start > run" on your computer.
  b. Type "rundll32.exe setupapi, InstallHinfSection DefaultInstall 132% windir%\inf\dfrg.inf" and press "Enter."
  3. click 'OK' to make the program automatically reinstall itself.

  C:
  a. go to start > all programs > Accessories > right click on command prompt > select 'run as administrator '.
  b. at the command prompt, type "regsvr32 dfrgsnap.dll" and press "enter."
  c. type 'regsvr32 dfrgui.dll' and press 'Enter '. This will reinstall the missing Defragmenter files.

  8. most of the problems will be solved by #6 above, but if not, and if your windows installation is otherwise working well, you should consider to download a free trial of a Defrag tool commercial rather than drastic measures to restore the functionality built-s. Third-party programs are more robust and many work in the background, so you can use your PC during defragmentation.

  Most third party programs offer a free, fully functional trial (better ones are for 30 days). Install one of them allows you to disable built-in and if you decide to uninstall, removal will replace the built-in function, repaired several times in the process: it's worth a try...

  Here's a recent Top 10 comments side-by-side comparison of the best available defragmentation programs:

  http://Disk-Defragmenter-software-review.TopTenReviews.com/

  The gold medal is the only defrag program that also prevents the fragmentation (see comment).

  Why is it good to prevent fragmentation?

  Basically, it significantly increases life expectancy of your hard drive (especially since you don't have to leave the system on all night - a much 'greener' agricultural practice), not to mention it also increases the performance of the system.

  Good luck to you!

• The red and blue of the defragmentation of observation tool areas?

  Can someone tell me if it is possible to display the red and blue areas after the defragmentation tool analysis please? All I see is a message saying that you do or you don't need to defragment, but cannot see the graphical representation, as you can do in XP.

  Thanx.

  Thanx.

  Vista Defrag is supposed to do its work quietly in the background. You don't even have to or should have to run defragmentation manually. Leave him alone and let him do his work.

  If you must, try the Auslogics Disk Defrag. It's free:
  You can watch the little squares blue, red, yellow, green, moving at lightning speed. You will also have a report at the end.

• I get an error message whenever I try to run Disk Defragmenter

  original title: I get an error message whenever I try to run the Defragmenter of disck

  It says disck Defragmenter is already programmed to run on volume C please run Chdsk/F I checcked my schedule the task and it does not appear as being planned how to fix this?

  Disk Defragmenter may not work on a drive when it detects errors on the disk.  If you need check your drive for errors.  This is usually by running "chkdsk" even if a disk check can be scheduled graphically as well.  Because the disk check must be performed when nothing else is using the drive, reboot and chkdsk runs before Windows loads on this disc.  For more information:

• Code 80070241 in Windows update and "Windows cannot verify the digital signature for this file" when you try to run any program.

  Windows Update has appeared today when we started one of our machines, informing us that there are some installed updates. After reviewing the updates, we clicked on the "Install now" button, and immediately, it failed with the above error code.

  I tried to run regedit a reason unrelated, and it came with a dialog box error with "Windows cannot verify the digital signature for this file. A recent hardware or software change might be installed a file that is signed incorrectly or damaged or maybe it's a malicious software from an unknown source. »

  After researching here and elsewhere on google and did not find anything suitable, put us in the Win7 disk, recovery tools and tried to go back to a previous system restore point (3 days).

  The restoration went well, restarted, but the problem persists.

  Then, we just tried to install anti-malware software, but when trying to run the installer, we get a different error message indicating 'ShellExecuteEx failed; Code 577 "and then the same message on the verification of the digital signature.

  The computer is running fine all yesterday and has worked very well since just after the new year when he has been upgraded to Windows 7. No material changes have been made, and no software changes were made by users in the course of last week.

  The computer is an AMD Athlon II X 4 with 4 GB of RAM on a motherboard Asus M4A78-EM, linking a 64 GB SSD, with a 250 GB drive SATA data/programs. GPU is a Nvidia 260, and it has a CD and DVD player as well. It is connected to our router using the gigabit ethernet interface motherboards.

  It was under windows 32 - bit XP SP3 up just after the new year. When we put in place the new SSD to replace a hard drive older than we have did a new install of XP (slipstreamed with SP3) and then used the upgrade 32-bit W7 Home premium DVD version to upgrade the system. Since then, the system runs flawlessley.

  On the machine is MS office XP, Firefox 3.6.3, AVG 8.5 and a few games such as the Turbine DDO.

  The main user account used to try to solve these problems and to run Windows Update and try installing programs is a member of the Administrators group.

  Firefox works fine, serve, and he plays the games installed very well also. AVG reports to date, with no problems and has detected no threat.

  However, try to view the registry with regedit, or start Viewer event or compmgmt.msc that all do appear the message "cannot verify the digital signature.

  ***************************************************

  Can anyone offer an opinion on what might be wrong with this facility please, and how we could do to solve?

  Cannot run chkdsk/scandisk as he bought the message "cannot verify the digital signature" etc etc.

  This morning, the machine began to behave differently - stop playing back badly, refused to start Device Manager, open Control Panel correctly etc.

  So, I reset the BIOS to boot from the CD-ROM, slapped XP SP3 in reinstalled, then upgraded to Win 7 again.

  Still have no idea what caused the problem, but it seems to be gone now - reinstalled the same applications, AV / programs anti-malware, games, etc and everything seems to go fine now.
