57291 2002-06-25 21:55:00 I'm doing my clean ups of our windows 98 PCs. Some wont defrag. they stall at 10% or zero %.
I've tried it in safe mode but still no joy. Any ideas.
Thanks
Paul

57292 2002-06-25 21:59:00 The defrag will stop working if the computer starts doing other things, eg screen saver comes on. When you want to run the Defrag, disable the screensaver and make sure no other programs are running. This means don't do anything when defrag is running

This should fixed your problem

Either that, or ctrl/alt/del & end task for everything but explorer & systray.
