Vista will not defragment

I asked this at Dell because we are often advised to go the manufacturer first for support on any software provided originally with a system.  Inevitably builders sites that reverse and we send to Microsoft.  I never get tired of it.  In any case, here's what I asked Dell:

Lately when I try to defragment my disk, it does not work.

I go to post work, right click the C: drive and properties, then Tools, it analyzes the disk or disks, says '' your file system performance may be improved '' and recommend that I have to defragment now, but then when I hit the button "defragment now...". ", it just recycles the analysis and said I need to defrag again and has reactivated the button"defragment now... ". ».  Clicking on it again simply recycles the procedure without never to take me to a screen showing the defragmentation process, as I'm used to.  It's like a perpetual analysis with no actual defragmentation.  Above in gray inscription notes that last run Defragmenter, perhaps minutes before, he also advises that I have Defrag.  It is a crazy line.

I note that somewhere along the line of the window for his appearance changed disk defragmentation;  I just assumed that it was during a Windows update any.  This isn't what I remember already on this unit of Vista, and certainly not as the window I used to get when you do a defrag on the 2005 XP desktop.

That is what it is?

2008 Dell XPS 1530, Vista sp2.

As a subnote, my security program has removed 3 Trojan horses in the last 3 weeks that snuck by his active observer, but have been found in the analyses subsequent system I ran.  It has probably nothing to do with the issue of defragmentation.

    Only one 1 antivirus/security suite applications should be installed & loading at startup at any given time. Since you do not know what free trial could come preinstalled on the computer, I have to have executed the two removal tools in the steps below.

    1. Uninstall Avanquest System Suite 10 & reboot. [1]

    2. make sure that the Windows Firewall is enabled!

    3. download the Norton Removal Tool, save it to your desktop: ftp://ftp.symantec.com/public/english_us_canada/removal_tools/Norton_Removal_Tool.exe

    3 b. download tool McAfee Consumer Product Removal, save it to your desktop:http://download.mcafee.com/products/licensed/cust_support_patches/MCPR.exe

    4. close all open applications (that is, anything with an icon on the taskbar).

    5. click right on the file you saved in # 3 above and select run as administrator to run the utility. DO TAP not your keyboard until the race ends, then reboot again.

    6. click right on the file you saved in # 3 b above and select run as administrator to run the utility. DO TAP not your keyboard until the race ends, then reboot again.

    7. open Internet Explorer (only) to http://support.microsoft.com/kb/971058 & run the difficulty in DEFAULT then AGGRESSIVE modes. [2]

    8 restart once again & test.

    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
    [1] I'll tell you right now that Avanquest applications are notorious for not properly uninstall. Unfortunately, there is not a removal tool that I know.

    [2] full Disclosure: the difficulty operating in AGGRESSIVE mode will remove your update history but not the list of installed updates.

  • Vista will not start! Black screen, no mouse, no cursor pointer. Startup Repair cannot repair. Details say 'wrong pass '. What is the correct syntax for pkgmgr to uninstall?

    Vista will not start!  Black screen, no mouse, no cursor pointer.  Startup Repair cannot repair.  Details say 'wrong pass '.  It looks like all the files are well intact on the disk.

    What is the correct for pkgmgr syntax when you try to uninstall an update by using a command prompt when starting Vista OS disk?  I entered the following in the "x:\Sources >" prompt:

    start /w pkgmgr/o: "C:\; /Up:Package_1_for_KB2840149~31bf3856ad364e35~x86~~6.0.1.0 C:\Windows.

    When I run this command it ends quickly and when I run 'echo %errorlevel%' I get '5', which seems to mean 'access denied'.  How am I supposed to have access to remove the patch?  Am I missing something?  Perhaps a switch in the syntax to access?  Help, please.  Thank you.

    I tried both options that you recommended.  As initially stated, no boot option would produce something other than the black screen.  I tried to boot from a drive and restoring the system running, but she didn't, and when I tried to do it again the recovery console could not find restore points. ?.

    An update, the computer is now fixed.  Oddly enough, I ran recovery of starting a drive at least 8 times and each time I checked the details and he said: he ran chkdsk without error and return to the same cause "a patch is preventing windows to start.  I even ran chkdsk c: /f from a prompt command from the recovery disk and it found no errors.  That's when I posted the question above after trying to remove the patch in the manner described above.  After some time and frustration, I decided to run chkdsk /r c:.  It took awhile, but it found 1 bad sector, moved the data, the bad sector tag and finished.  Once I restarted from that, everything came and went very well.

    So, the original question remains, what was missing in the command to run pkgmgr/high: successfully.  And the new question exists as to why start Recovery claims run chkdsk if it does not, or he turns the version/f not the version/r the same as I did manually?  It would be good to know for the future.  Thank you!

  • Windows Vista will not see Seagate 320 internal drive to format

    I bought a 320GB Seagate (7200 RPM) opportunity and I'm trying to install Vista on it. The computer BIOS sees the drive, but loading Vista it does not show the HD as an external drive and ask drivers for it. The disk has been previously formatted for Mac.

    Try to use SeaTools for Windows.  See also: Seagate Installation Assistance

    Please note that the hard drive needs to be internally mounted inside the computer because Windows Vista will not install on an external hard drive.

  • I've got qcad Professional installed but vista will not open save dxf files. I get dxf is not an application valid win 32. Is there any solution for this?

    I've got qcad Professional installed, but vista will not open save dxf files I get a file... dxf is not an application valid win 32.
    Is this a common problem?
    Is there any solution for this?

    You, of course, took umbrage to my last post. For that I apologize, there was no pejorative intention. I am a newbie in the forums and am digging my way along. I have marked your answers answers by mistake, I'll try to fix this.
    I solved the problem, I tried to open files in the Qcad application by clicking on the list of recently used files. It will not work in a new session.
    The correct procedure is:-
    Open click, Qcad - click file - open (this opens the index page of Qcad from the saved files) - click the required file - click Open.
    There is no problem, with the exception of this incompetence of users.
    Thank you for your time and assistance.

  • "Error message: Verifing DMI pool Data data ', 'Boot from CD' and Vista will not start.

    Vista will not start. Yesterday I had a remote assist of a tech trade SPS who took several Java updates and installed the recommended Java version. Until I left work the day I closed my computer so that he could install the updates from Microsoft. After the updates were finished I he turned and left for the day. When I arrived this morning, I had was a black screen and 2 lines of text following: 'Verifing DMI pool data' and 'Boot from CD' and a cursor flashing beneath them. I downloaded and executed a Western Digital utility that showed no problems with the hard drive, put in on the installation disc repair service is no error. I did a system restore to a point since yesterday morning, and Vista still does not start. Any ideas or suggestions?

    Hi JohnHorky,

    Step 1:

    First check and make sure that all physical connections on the computer are correct.

    Step 2:

    Alternatively, you can try to run a Checkdisk and check.

    a. Insert the installation disc.

    b. restart your computer.

    c. click on the Start button, click the arrow next to the button lock and then click on restart. If you are prompted, press any key to start Windows from the installation disc.

    d. choose your language settings, and then click Next.

    e. in the System Recovery Options menu, click command prompt

    f. at a command prompt, type the following command and press ENTER

    Chkdsk /f /r X: (drive letter)

    Note: When you run the checkdisk, there are risks of data loss you can take a backup before starting the checkdisk.

    g. press y when you are prompted to check the drive the next time the system restarts.

    h. close all applications and restart the computer.

    Note: When you run the disk check, there are chances of losing data if you can take a backup before starting the checkdisk.

    Step 3:

    Check if the automatic hard drive in the BIOS (Basic Input/output System) is enabled and save settings and check if it works. If it doesn't, contact the manufacturer of the system for more support options.

    I also suggest that you install the latest update of the basic system of input/output (BIOS) on the computer by contacting the manufacturer of the computer and check if it helps.

    Important: Change to the BIOS/complementary metal oxide semiconductor (CMOS) settings can cause serious problems that may prevent your computer from starting properly. Microsoft cannot guarantee that problems resulting from the configuration of the BIOS/CMOS settings can be solved. Changes to settings are at your own risk.

    Hope this information is useful.

    If you change the motherboard that you normally have to reinstall vista

    your hard drive if you ever reinstalled vista contains the drivers for the old motherboard etc.

    and if vista is pre-installed you can not put the motherboard unless you do so in collaboration with the computer manufacturer

    Install Windows 7 to try to resolve a problem of Vista is never a good idea. You must fix the problem Vista and then upgrade; or download a full version of Windows 7 and install it.  Try to upgrade a non-working Vista system will likely cause bad results.
