Defragmenting Drive C
When I go to defragment my hard disk on our old computer (WIn 9 the defragmenting program keeps resetting itself saying that changes have been made to the disk. It only gets to wher it has the little boxes on the screen. Can anyone help out with this?

defrag
all programs need to be closed. i have a program called end-it-all that shuts down most programs running in the background to give more system reserve for gaming. works for me. no probs defragging.

All programs and non-system specific proccesses more or less need to be off. That means all the icons in your lower right start bar should be closed.

Try Safe Mode, Mike. This way only windows loads, no extra programs or unneccessary drivers.
To do a true scan or defrag outside of windows, you gotta spend money.
