• 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

  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.

• Vista-Defrag HD does not end

  When I tried to run defrag manually it will run for hours and does not complete

  Hi cms1956,

  Please try and do a clean boot on your system to see if that helps you with the problem you're having with your computer defragmentation.

  Step 1: Perform a clean boot

  a. connect to the computer by using an account that has administrator rights.

  b. click Start, type msconfig.exe in the Start Search box and press ENTER to start the System Configuration utility.

  If you are prompted for an administrator password or for confirmation, type your password, or click continue.

  c. in the general tab, click Selective startup, and then clear the Load Startup items check box. (The use original Boot.ini check box is not available.)

  d. in the Services tab, click to select the hide all Microsoft services check box, and then click disable all.

  e. click OKand then click restart.

  Step 2: Enable half the services

  a. follow steps 1a and 1B to start the System Configuration utility.

  b. click on the Services tab and then click to select the hide all Microsoft services checkbox.

  c. click to select half of the check boxes in the Service list.

  d. click OKand then click restart.

  Step 3: Determine whether the problem returns

  If the problem persists, repeat steps 1 and 2. In step 2, click to clear half of the check boxes that you have initially enabled in the Service list.

  If the problem does not occur, repeat steps 1 and 2. In step 2, select only half of the remaining check boxes that are cleared in the Service list. Repeat these steps until you have selected all the check boxes.

  If only one service is selected in the list of services , and you the problem persists, the service selected the cause of the problem. Go to step 6. If no service is causing this problem, go to step 4.

  Step 4: Enable half of the startup items

  a. perform a clean boot by repeating step 1.

  b. click on the Startup tab and then click to select half of the check boxes in the startup item list.

  c. click OKand then click on restart.

  Step 5: Determine whether the problem returns

  If the problem persists, repeat steps 1 and 4. In step 4, click to clear half of the check boxes that you have originally selected in the startup item list.

  If the problem does not occur, repeat steps 1 and 4. In step 4, select only half of the remaining check boxes that are cleared in the startup item list. Repeat these steps until you have selected all the check boxes.

  If only one startup item is selected in the startup item list, and you still experience the problem, start selected in the list element is the service that is causing the problem. Go to step 6.

  If no startup item causes this problem, a Microsoft service most likely the cause of the problem. To determine which Microsoft service may be causing the problem, repeat step 1 and step 2 without selecting the hide all Microsoft services check box in each step.

  Step 6: Resolve the problem

  After you determine the startup item or the service that is causing the problem, contact the manufacturer of the program to determine if the problem can be solved. Or, run the System Configuration utility, and then click to clear the check box of the element of the problem.

  Step 7: Reset the computer to start as usual

  When you are finished troubleshooting, follow these steps to reset the computer to start as usual:

  a. click Start, type msconfig.exe in the Start Search box and press ENTER.

  If you are prompted for an administrator password or for confirmation, type your password, or click continue.

  b. on the general tab, click the Normal startup option, and then click OK.

  c. when you are prompted to restart the computer, click restart.
