windows xp disc defrag

[Guest chawks@live.com]

when I open one care and start tune up,it will not defrag,so I attempted

through programs and it gives me a popup saying 'disc defrag could not start'

 

Any suggestions?

How much free space is available and what is the size of C?

Have you been using any third party utilities like Diskeeper?

 

Do you have a pagefile on your C partition?

 

Select Start, Control Panel, Administrative Tools, Services and right

click on DCOM Server Process Launcher and select Properties. The StartUp

type should be Automatic.Is it?

 

cCleaner (freeware) which does a more thorough job than Disk CleanUp.

Disk CleanUp has to be run for each user profile, whereas cCleaner only

needs to be run once.

When using cCleaner think twice before checking Autocomplete Form

History under Internet Explorer. You do get a warning but this one has

irritating consequences. You may need to restore your system's

recollection of passwords after use so keep a record off computer so

that they can easily be re-entered.

 

One Care is a poor product. Run Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware

 

Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware

1.38 -freeware (if you upgrade you pay).

http://www.download.com/Malwarebytes-Anti-...4-10804572.html

 

Run Malwarebytes' and turn off your current anti-virus

before you do to avoid a conflict. Disregard the invitation on the web

site regarding the Registry Optimiser -a Registry Optimiser is not a

helpful utility.

free space is one

issue that affects

defrag.

 

another is low virtual

memory.

 

and perhaps mis

configured anti virals

that won't let the utility

launch.
