• Vista Defrag does not work continues by saying defragmentation will improve performance after hours of defragmentation

  I ran Defrag Vista several times (each for hours) and always says that "defragment your drive hard drive will improve the performance.

  It seems that he never really ran that whole defragmentation at all! It is perhaps also the reason why Defrag Vista does not display progress with graphical display. It does not work.

  Who out there can help find a Defrag Vista work?

  Thank you

  Hello

  The Vista defrag works quietly in the background without intervention on your part

  http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/942092

  In Windows Vista, there are a lot of improvements in the defrag engine and handling of fragmentation. By default, Windows Vista uses Task Scheduler to automatically keep the defragmented hard drive. This Automatic defragmentation does not affect the performance of the Windows Vista operating system...

  If you want to use a much better defragmentation program which is free and where you can see the results, I suggest this one:

• Windows 7 Disk Defragmenter does not work

  All of a sudden, I get the following error message when you try to run Defrag

  "Disk Defragmenter cannot start the Task Scheduler service is not running. Start the Task Scheduler service and try again.',

  that does not work.

  Assuming that task scheduler was enabled and the Defragmenter tool still does not work, here is a routine that I have compiled over time which proved to be effective to solve the problems of Defragmenter:

  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/
  Place it at the top of the page 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.

  Find out what the review has to say on this.

  Good luck to you!

• 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?

• Of defrag does not work due to the custom configuration created by another program

  When I try to do a defrag, I get a message saying "disturbance disk currently uses custom settings created by another program"

  Before changing the annex, you need to remove the custom settings.  Here's this message 2 boxes, 1 said 'delete settings' and the other says "Cancel".  When I click on 'delete settings', I am back on the desktop. This repeated its self everytime I have try to defragment, it does not open as administrator or in 'safe MODE '.

  Can someone help
  Thank you very much

  You have a few options. I finally got my work to the rigging.

  1. all reformat

  2 * at microsoft

  3. take out the computer in a microsoft store, and it will fix it for free (why? because w10 and they know it causes problems)

  W10 return to w7 installed incorrectly. Your computer is still acting as w10 is always there, even when it is not.

  So what I did, i wouldn't recommend, receiving a Filipina Lady a (microsoft) call center to work on and fix my computer. They have done MUCH worse. (I already insured at this point that microsoft is fixing my computer for free because of the w10) So after the fried Lady basically my computer, I brought my rig to the nearest store from microsoft and they fix everything, for free.

  NOW, after I brought my home computer, I downloaded a program 3rd party called GWX Control Panel. What it does, is removes all the updates from the W10, removes the POS auto upgrade feature and block updates future w10.

  http://ultimateoutsider.com/downloads/---> click for GWX

  If you do not use this program, w10 automatically updates AGAIN! Even though microsoft said it is a rare event DONT BELIEVE IT! It is a widespread problem, and microsoft is FORCED to happen.

  Needless to say, I lost faith in microsoft because of faulty software programming. (even my xbox one...) So I not buy more than several microsoft products, because of these bad blantly business practices.

  I'm sorry this happened to you, and I understand the frustration. Especially if younever wanted to w10 in the first place.

• 2164US dv4: DV4 CHG to SSD disk / recovery does not work

  I have 2164US DV4.

  Currently, I've changed the hard drive for an SSD.

  HARD drive original: WD 320

  New SSD: Samgsung 850 EVO 120 GB SSD

  OS: Windows 7

  I have recovery on DVD discs.

  I placed the 1st dvd. It worked.

  When released the 1st disk, the sign says "insert disc #2."

  I placed the 2nd dvd, but the cd rom drive opens in a few minutes.

  The sign still says "insert disk #2.

  I tried several times, but it looks the same.

  I contacted the HP technical support regarding this issue.

  HP told me that the issues of the size of the hard drive.

  Which means the new size of the SSD is much smaller than the original size.

  However, I do not understand why this is important.

  Size of the recovery system is of approx. 75 GB only.

  Is there any solution for this?

  Hello;

  Let me welcome you on the HP forums!

  I read your post about the problem of recovery and wanted to help.

  When I replaced the HARD drive of my laptop DV6 with a SDS, I bought a DDI the same capacity.

  Later, when I read about people with problems like yours, I assumed it was because the SDS was smaller than the original HARD drive.  But later, I learned by one of the members of the Provost, as long as the SSD is 256 GB or larger, you can make the recovery feature.

  So, basically, your SDS is too small for the recovery feature work properly.

  Good luck

  I'm a volunteer and I do not work for, or represent, HP.
