Guest Kermit and Barbara Posted September 8, 2007 Posted September 8, 2007 I can remember installing a Windows-2000 (I think) defrag file on my Windows-98SE system some time ago...I did this to make the defraging my system faster. Well, I have lost track of the name of that file and where it should be installed on the 98SE system. Can anybody enlighten me on this subject? This is a part of my system recovery after my recent system meltdown. Thanks in advance for any help sent my way. Frog

As dadiOH has said, it lives in C:\WINDOWS. The Me file has version number 4.90.3000 as opposed to W98SE's 4.70.1998.

I will caution though, there appears to be two (2) offerings of the scanfrag.exe [the file that contains the new files]. One includes other files which MAY cause problems in your system [contains winfile.exe, the WRONG [old] version of dskmaint.dll, and a few other files]. The other seems to also contain the older dskmaint.dll [unless it has been updated since I downloaded it for testing]. You want at least the 4.90.3000 version for dskmaint.dll. You also will want CVTAPLOG.EXE updated to 4.90.3000 if you're using defrag to adjust your files per Windows load fast schemes [which are debatable as useful]. http://www.mdgx.com/add.htm http://www.mdgx.com/web.htm http://www.mdgx.com/secrets.htm http://www.mdgx.com/files/SCANFRAG.EXE some touted important updates official/unofficial: http://www.msfn.org/board/?showtopic=84886 OR: http://erpman1.tripod.com/w98meupd.html Don't forget you also need to install one of the time zone updates, one from MDGx, or Gary Terhune [MVP] has one available on his web site: http://www.grystmill.com/ and you need to make sure you have updated as much as you can via windowsupdare [though many useful files are NOT available via that site. -- MEB http://peoplescounsel.orgfree.com ________
Guest Frog Posted September 8, 2007 Posted September 8, 2007 Re: Defrag File Name Needed Thanks everybody for the help. I just couldn't remember which version of Windows had a defrag.exe file that worked with 98SE...and was fast. I made the download I made the download of the ME version and all is well.
