• Disk defrag cannot open a file(system32\dfrg.msc) to run

  This message appears when I click to open the defragmentation program:

  MMC cannot open the file c:\WINDOWS\system32\dfrg.msc.
  This file does not exist, is not an MMC console, or was created by a later version of MMC.

  Then what should I do? I looked around and I still have the file on the computer but I can't open it to all.  My computer needs to defragment very badly.  It there a way to get a new file or program? Or can I replace this question?

• Disk Defragmenter cannot defragment volume HP_recovery (D)

  There are 40% of free space on the C: drive.  There are 13% space available on HP_Recovery (D).   To function effectively, disk defragmentation requires 15% of usable space.  It is said to remove some unnecessary files on the hard drive, but he has little left to delete files.  I don't know what to do to be able to defragment the HP_Recover (D); that is fragmented btw, horribly.

  Help?  I'm not very savvy computer.

  Back up and take a breath... wait - exhale.

  It is not difficult, and we are here to help...  Relax...

  What is your problem and you, why you have one?  Something or someone say you?

  Since the Microsoft Answers forum does not have any kind of information system request when a new question is asked, we know absolutely nothing about your system.  Not knowing the basic information a problem prolongs the frustration and the agony of these issues.

  Thank you MS Answers, allowing the resolution of simple problems as frustrating and a lot of time as possible.

  Provide information on your system, the better you can:

  What is your system brand and model?

  What is your Version of XP and the Service Pack?

  What is your Internet browser and version?

  Describe your current antivirus and software anti malware situation: McAfee, Symantec, Norton, Spybot, AVG, Avira!, MSE, Panda, Trend Micro, CA, Defender, ZoneAlarm, PC Tools, Comodo, etc..

  The afflicted system has a working CD/DVD (internal or external) drive?

  You have a genuine XP installation CD bootable, which is the same Service as your installed Service Pack (this is not the same as any recovery CD provided with your system)?

  What do you see (exactly) that you don't think you should see, and when you see it?

  What do not you think that you should see?

• Stripe full disk and cannot open photoshop to fix...

  I can't open photoshop because it said that the scratch disk is full. I have been using photoshop (cs5) for 10 years and never had this problem. I recently installed cs5 on my Windows 7 computer and it worked for a few weeks, then this problem occurred. I can't afford a new version at the moment but want to use cs5 on this computer and I know he can run because he did it for several weeks, but now it won't and I can't follow the typical steps to remedy this situation because I can't open photoshop. Help, please!

  Hello, welcome to the forum!

  Because you cannot start Photoshop, you cannot change the allocation of work disk in preferences.

  Fortunately for you, the engineers designed a shortcut to fix that: hold down CTRL + ALT (PC) / CMD + OPTION (Mac) starts as soon as Photoshop to get this menu:

  

  Select a different drive with more space, but don't forget the cleaning of files cluttering your hard drive, as described in other posts.

• 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.

  Good luck to you!

• Cannot open disk Defragmentar. Have never had this problem before.

  I can't open Disk Defragmenter. The computer is 6 years old and have never had this problem before.  I'm afraid that this is something that I've made or changed everything trying to "clean up" the computer.  What can I do so that it can start working again?  Thanks for any help.

  With disk defrag does not, I never saw a response microsoft or "fix."

• Microsoft cannot open or save documents more because there is not enough disk space or memory

  Using the Chrome browser in Windows 10 attachments to emails sent to my Gmail account are not available. The error message is the same mentioned in the first request:

  "Microsoft Excel cannot open or save all the documents more because there is not enough disk space or memory.

  The solution is simple - it's just a stupid error message that has nothing to do with the real problem, and the problem is actually a feature of microsoft, is also often:
  -office now has a kind of function 'protected mode', which prevents the office applications to do things under certain conditions.
  -One of them is to stop excel from opening attachments from outlook :-(

  Go to options Excel, the Privacy Center, settings and uncheck all options on "protected from view.

  Save and voila, suddenly excel can open all the files and has absolutely no problem with your GB of free memory.

  Thanks to the brilliant mind who has designed such an awkward feature with the awkward error messages and options ultra deep to clear - and of course no simple help.

• Disk Defragmenter does not open in Windows 7

  Since I started using Norton, Disk Defragmenter does not work and my computer is very slow. How can I me Defrag to work and to speed up my computer?

  There are 2 issues here:

  1 Defragmenter does not
  2 PC is slow.

  If the disk is very fragmented, it can cause the PC to run poorly, so let's handle defrag first and then we can look at the additional steps to speed it up.

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

  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.

  (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. There may be malware on the PC
  Solution - run the Antivrus, then Antispyware scans (can take a long time if ever made. Be patient):
  a. analysis of the entire system with the anti-virus & manage everything that exists;
  b. analysis of the entire system with Anti-Spyware & manage everything that exists;

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

  7. If still no go, try to run the defragmenter in Mode without failure. If she runs, something interferes with it in standard mode and stalking the 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.

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

  a. Select a program and install it. The best defrag programs are automatic and the top placers in the foregoing analysis can defragment everything using the PC. Place it at the top of the page was the only defragmentation program preventing fragmentation (see comment).
  b, readers to defragment your drive.

  The PC should improve speed, as the above steps are performed. Here are additional steps to optimize PC for speed:

  10. make sure that your PC has as much memory (RAM) as possible.
  Solution - Know how much RAM your PC:
  a. go to start > right click on 'Computer' > properties
  b. this list the type of processor and speed and how much RAM is installed, and what version of windows is running and the Service Pack. Sign it, because it may be necessary later.
  c. search your PC name and model # followed by 'memory' and see what is listed. This tells you what type of memory you need and how many "Sticks" your PC will accept.
  d. get the maximum amount of memory your computer can contain and install it. Search for "how to install memory on one (your model name and #)" to find videos on how to do this if necessary.

  11. make sure that the registry is clean.
  Solution: Get and run a good registry cleaner.
  a. check to see if there is a registry cleaner already in the system;
  b. otherwise, download CCleaner here: http://download.cnet.com/ccleaner/
  c. run the registry cleaner until he finds and corrects any errors.

  Note: Be careful with registry cleaners as there are many autour with new ones coming all the time with some would have been causing more damage than they help. Use a proven reliability.

  CCleaner is one of the originals and very safe.

  Once all this is done, your PC will be in the best possible shape.

  Good luck and let us know if you have any questions (ask your questions and I will then answer best I can).
