Solve : Disk Defragmenter freezes?

Answer»

Hi there, I have been having some issues with how Windows is running.

When I run the disk defragmenter it constantly freezes when it hits this point

documents and settings\owner\local settings\application data\microsoft\windows live contacts\ ....

My AVG antivirus used to lock up at that point as well...curious.


I removed my windows messenger, then tried to re-install it but i get a system ERROR: 0x80070643. As far as I know, I have administrator privilages...

Any help would be wonderful! Thanks in advance Try to run checkdisk in safemode. Than try to defrag in safemode.

Let us know how this works out.

Will do. Doing work on the computer right now, so I will have to try your suggestion later. Thanks! I ran checkdisk in safe mode and it was ok. Disk Defrag STILL froze up when run in safemode.That disk may be in trouble even though chkdsk ran...
However before jumping the gun POST more info on how much free space is left on that drive...
Also whether indexing service is turned off or on, this has known to cause problems.

At any RATE in the meantime DLoad and run the FREE diagnxtics from the drive manuf. website...use the directions on creating a bootable CD.
Run the long test...
