138716 2003-04-25 01:21:00 I just did a defrag in “stupid mode” after pressing Ctrl-Alt-Delete and closing down all the extra programs, The defrag went through as normal, but when it finished there was still a line of green blocks (clusters) and then a gap and a few more blocks, normally it finishes with blue and there are no gaps unless there are system files at the end, so I did a defrag again and got the same results.

So then I went into “safe mode” and it seems. I always get to see the same“defrag.avi” movie, with green blocks at the end,

Has anybody else had this problem on Windows 98?

138717 2003-04-25 06:04:00 I forgot too say because it is not too important, I last did a defrag two days ago, and I just deleted a folder called 2002 and was about to replace it with 2003, 2003 been the year of happy days, it's all down hill from here like it has been for many years, but before I wished to add in 2003 I thought I would do a defrag, all the defrag has done is changed the 2 to 0 days since last defrag, I still get a big white hole at the beginning of the defrag on page one even thou I have "done it" many times today,

Maybe before anybody criticizes anybody today they should think of "Windows" first.

138722 2003-04-25 11:55:00 The defrag program has gone nuts, I paws it at 40%, and some of the white space it filled at 10% had been taken away, and use at say 30% space, leaving white space at 10% again.

That is why the defrag program is like a bad dream,

138723 2003-04-25 12:18:00 Yeppers, format - but don't reinstall Windows .

Either install *nix

or perhaps IBM DOS

or Caldera DOS

or FreeDos


- that way you won't have to see defragmentation within Windows again . Btw - noticed what firm developed it?

Also - read your posts - so little information .
If you want half an answer, ask half a question .

Sounds like something attached to a dog's hind leg . . LOL
