I have Win 98 and have 7.042MG	Guest (0)

If you can't do the defrag in Safe Mode, you might try booting from a floppy or the installation CD to do that. It will pay you to reinstall the OS when you have cleaned up the disk anyway.	Guest (0)

Cleaning out the following folders may also help glitchyness. Temp. Internet folder, History folder, Cookies folder, and Temp. Folder. The first two can be cleared from the controll panel/internet options, general tab, the last two can be found in the windows folder.Be sure to delete only whats in the folders, not the folders themselves, good luck, Bob	Guest (0)
