What operating system is this? Are you launching the disk defragmenter from the Start Menu or from the tools found under the right click properties on the C drive?

What happens if you do this (assuming you have XP):

Start > Run. Enter in cmd and click OK. At the command prompt that appears in the black box, type defrag and push Enter.

Im running on Windows XP Pro. I tried launching it from the start menu and it didnt work, and from C: properties it says that its not installed and i need to install it. I tried doing the CMD command, and it worked, but i prefer using the normal way, any solution?

339744 2005-03-31 10:25:00 You could try going to Start > Run and typing in the following:

sfc /scannow

Note that there is a space after sfc and you may be prompted for your Windows installation CD.

339747 2005-04-01 06:02:00 Do a search for Defrag . You should find 3 of them.
Or at least i did on mine.
Double click Defrag.exe when or if you find it.
