• CyberDefender diagnosis claimed the C:\Windows\SysWOW64\defrag.exe file is missing.

  Original title: CyberDefender diagnosis

  This promo 'Double my speed .com' is a bait & switch. $40 for their 'diagnostic' software, then someone turns to sell you a package of $400 maintenance. A container of the slow cooker.   However, their 'diagnostic' has stated that this file is missing from my system:

  C:\Windows\SysWOW64\defrag.exe

  I have had a lot of wrong with my Firefox browser lock up lately (which the 'seller' useful said they could fix), so I came on this site to download it, but a search comes empty.  Has anyone concerned with that?

  Hi Benthoven,

  You can try to run the disc, defragment, and see if it works. If it works, then you can ignore the message of C:\Windows\SysWOW64\defrag.exe.

  Step 1:

  You can read the following article and try to run Disk Defragmenter.

• Windows 7 Defrag from command line does not work

  We are running Windows 7 in a virtualized environment. When you run windows defrag hourly use of the command line, it does not work. The order that I will execute as administrator is

  C:\Windows\System32>defrag/c

  Microsoft Disk Defragmenter
  Copyright (c) 2007 Microsoft Corp.

  It displays the above message and leaves back to the command prompt. However if I run the defrag C: command it does not. Defragmentation from the GUI works so as long as both drives (C: and system reserved) are selected and when I click on defragment drives, works very well.

  I am concerned about defrag from the Task Scheduler with the command ' defrag/c' (self programmed to help set up the calendar... from Disk Defragmenter) does not work and the system never gets defragmented automatically.

  This only happens with some of the windows virtual machine 7 we have.

  There are no entries in the event log that point to defragmentation (using the Task Scheduler). Anything can happen on the ideas?

• Upgrade Advisor omitted Windows 7 Professional

  Hello-

  I ran the Windows 7 Upgrade Advisor on a computer in Windows Vista Home Professional 32 - bit and the results noted the following:

  (check mark)  Upgrade Options available: you can switch to 32-bit Windows 7 Home Premium or Ultimate.

  Question: why Windows 7 Professional is specifically omitted?  It is my favorite upgrade such that I can use the XP mode at the cheapest price upgrade.

  Thank you!

  You can use an upgrade license to upgrade Vista Home Premium to Windows 7 Pro, but it requires a Custom Installation.  Unfortunately, an In-Place-Upgrade HP Vista to Windows 7 Pro is not supported.

  What you can do to maintain a path in place upgrade to Windows 7 Pro, this is to do an in-place-upgrade to Vista HP for Windows 7 HP, then upgrade Express Windows 7 HP Professional.  The cost is almost the same (a few dollars more).

  The problem is a design with Vista Business error that caused a loss of functionality problem when switching from HP company.  Many VHP features are not in business, as the Media Center.  That fact goes VHP 7Pro a problem too.  Microsoft has corrected the error in Windows 7 by ensuring that there is no loss of functionality, and an in-place-upgrade is only supported when 7CV to 7Pro.

• Windows Vista Defrag Crash

  Whenever I have run defrag, my system hangs. Initially, I used Windows ONECARE and tried to use the option to defrag Vista with no luck.

  Startup Repair is a Windows Vista recovery tool that can fix certain problems, such as system files missing or damaged, that might prevent Windows from starting correctly. When you run the Startup Repair, it scans your computer for the problem and then tries to fix it so that your computer can start correctly.

  Startup Repair is located in the System Recovery Options menu, which is located on the Windows Vista installation disc. If your computer manufacturer has preinstalled the recovery options, Startup Repair can also be installed on your hard drive. If your computer does not have the Startup Repair, your computer manufacturer can have customized or replaced the tool. See the documentation provided with your computer or go to the manufacturer's Web site.

• Windows 8 Defrag lists raided SSD as HARD drive

  I have a 3rd gen core i7 with a card mother z77 (Asus P8Z77-V Pro) running Windows 8.

  I have 4 SSD RAID 0 would be in 2 groups and all 4 disks are plugged into the Intel SATA plugs.  I also have a 1 than to plugged catch NO Intel SATA HARD drive.

  A group is my boot (C) drive that is 2 x ADATA SX900 256 GB, and others, I have for storage (D) which is 2 x SanDisk Extreme 240 GB.

  I installed the latest Intel RST drivers.

  Under the Windows Defragmenter, my C drive is listed as SSD but my D drive is listed as a HARD drive.

  I want my D drive will be listed as SSD so that the FILLING can be passed to it.  My C drive when I click on optimize correctly trimmed output %, while the D drive outputs % consolidated.

  I have all 4 disks and two exactly the same RAID configurations in the BIOS and drivers of the RST with the exception of a difference.  Drive C is using 64 k band and D drive is using 128 KB Strip.  I can't imagine it is what makes Windows think that the D drive is a HARD drive because of the size of distribution?

  Is there something I can do in the registry to recognize my D as an SSD drive?

  I would rather not reformat my D drive to 64 KB stripe just to see if that solves it if there is something I can do with the registry, config, or otherwise in the software.

  
  

  Thanks in advance for any ideas.

• Windows 7 64 bit does not properly close the Tecra A11

  Last week my laptop Tecra A11 ceased to close properly. Windows 7 64 bit stops, the screen goes black but the power of the computer turns off is no longer. Power of the computer stops if I hold down the power button.

  I'm running a Toshiba Express Port Replicator to work and a Toshiba Dynadock U at home. The problem occurs on both sites. I have scanned for viruses, update Windows and defragmented computer, but none of these things had no effect on the problem.

  Anyone know how I can fix this frustrating problem?

  The same thing happens when the laptop is not connected to two external devices?
  Have you installed any additional software that may be responsible for this?

  Have you noticed the same problem as the use of the standby or hibernation mode?

• How to find the largest contiguous free space in windows xp

  Hi, I have two machines, one running Win7, XP running.  I know how my highest contiguous free space is great under w7, using "defrag c: - one" in a prompt "administrator-started":

  C:\Windows\System32>defrag c: - one
  Microsoft Disk Defragmenter
  Copyright (c) 2007 Microsoft Corp.

  Citing analysis on OS (C :)...)

  The operation completed successfully.

  Post report of defragmentation:

  Volume information:
  Volume size = 283,40 GB
  Space free = 60.49 GB
  Fragmented space total = 0%
  More large size of free space = 46,29 GB

  But, by using the same command in XP does not have the same statistics (I tried 'defrag c: - a - v' for a detailed report, but it does not always give this stat.)  Anyone know how to find out what is the largest contiguous amount of free space on a XP computer?

  TIA

• After Run DEFRAG in VISTA has lost 37 GB of disk space

  I ran disk cleanup after my loss of hard drive space that remove all restore points except last option and I do not recover FROM my concert 37 loss of hard drive space.  What does Windows Vista DEFRAG! ???  He dé-compresser some old compressed files?  In addition, during the execution of the "System Tools" folder defragmentation, there no option to see you an analisys "REPORT" of the hard drive before or after the execution of the actual DEFRAGMENTATION.  In addition, for a disk hard 320 GB with ANY other running application (3 GB of memory on an AMD Turion TL-60 2.00 GHz HP Laptop) it took more than 24 hours for the defragmentation to finish.  Help!  I want my rear disc space!

  Hello Halima,

  It was an excellent and informative answer...  If you read my other two messages about this problem, I explained that I am very aware of the technical aspects of DEFRAG as system support for environments IBM Mainframe using IBM DEFAG back in the early 1980s.  My main concern was what happened to my DISK space.  Your reply explained what actually happened.  A little more complete history: it is a new DRIVE that I had just put into service (used CMS of TRANSFER of DATA to copy the entire volume, including the OS) upgrade to 160 GB to 320 GB.  He had worked flawlessly for two weeks.  I decided that I wanted a copy of my hard drive again and that he wanted to 'clean & not fragmented' volume before I copied it to a NEW 320 GB volume spare.  It was when I Defraged this week two used the volume I had my 'problem '.  I could get my space by manually deleting some files work and execution 'OWN DISC' system with deletes everything except the last system restore file.  Thanks for your time in my question ansewring.

• How to schedule defragment under user account?

  I would like to know how to plan defragment under user account.

  When I run defrag under user account, it asks for the admin password.

  Is there any approach to ignore this application process for "password" and set the schedule to run defrag directly?

  Does anyone have any suggestions?
  Thanks in advance for your suggestions

  Planned measures:

  Would this scheduled task runs under the admin account? even through I connect using the user account and Defrag runs in the background under admin account.  Wouldn't be corrected interpretation? -

  -Yes, that's correct - you are connected as a standard user but defrag makes use of the Admin account.

  Action tab

  It would be correct choose the suite file?

  No - I don't know why you keep reference C:\defrag.bat when it enter task scheduler

  Program/script %windir%\system32\defrag.exe

  Add arguments to C:

  does the work.  In addition, Windows treats the batch, named Windows utilities files very strangely so you should never use same name as a Windows utility.  In this case, I think that Windows work defrag.exe instead of your batch file, so all the arguments written in the batch file will be ignored. Just put in place Task Scheduler I did and forget about using a batch file.

  You can tell that the task is running by looking at the Task Manager, Services, defragsvc.  If the task is running then this service will run also [and service you keep saying that it runs for 5-10 minutes after the task finishes].

  You can view the results by opening the Disk Defragmenter [C:\Windows\System32\dfrgui.exe] and it will show you the last time a defrag activity took place and the last reported State of fragmentation [i.e. the fragmentation status when the task is over].

  [Note that Disk Defragmenter to opening also sets the Task Manager, Services and defragsvc to say that it's running , so this can be confusing - service is not the thing, take any measure and just open Disk Defragmenter initiates any defrag action].

• I have a pc windows 7, but I like the design of the windows xp disk defragmentation, is any way to get this design on win7?

  dosent matter what I need (download the software, change a setting) I just need a way to get that design.

  Not the real Windows XP defrag - but there are a lot of alternatives to the innate applications.  However - you realize that default Windows 7 is the defragmentation itself in the background anyway?

• HP Support Assistant Defragent disk running 16 hours and counting...

  I bought this HP Pavilion P6755 (Windows 7 64-bit) about two months and it is a great machine to use.  However later I had on two occasions has experienced a blue screen, I thought I could used the pre-installed HP Support Assistant to try to improve the performance of the machine.  Then I started the update and he passed smoothly up to the part of Microsft Windows Disk defragment, where trotted as always...

  I tried twice, the first run, I let it go for about 14 hours with no luck. the second time I let the process of development for more than 24 hours and when I came back to check it was still marching tune-up?

  I closed this update to half way and started the window of defragmentation tool, and it took less than half an hour to complete the process without any problem at all.

  So what is happening with this update under Hp Support Assistant?

  I have ensured that the Windows 7 operating system has the latest updates, HP Support Assistant in its latest version.

  Another thing so: HP ProBook I use at wwork completes the process of development without problem at all.

  Anyone here has the same problem?

  My PC has i5 and 1 TB hard drive; I used the HP Support Assistant to perform a check of the HARD drive and that you did not no problem either.

  Thanks for any input or possible solution.

  Hello
  Welcome to the HP Forum!

  I recommend that you update the HP Support Assistant. Go on the web portal of support for your office and in the software & Drivers section find the update, download and install it. I would have linked directly to the update for you, but you left the last alphanumeric (s) for your office product name identifier.
