I'm using vista business. I've set a schedule to run the disk defragmenter,
but it doesn't work at all. Yet, I've another laptop using vista home
premium, but the disk defragmenter schedule works well. How come?

you don't need to set a schedule, because it's already scheduled by default!

Hi SpiderMan,

Do you have your computer running, not in sleep mode or off, at the
scheduled time?

If not, then Option Two in this tutorial will show you how to set Disk
Defragmenter to wake up your computer from a sleep mode to run.
Afterwards your computer will go back to sleep after the usual idle time
you set in Power Options.

Hope this helps,
Shawn

it's not necessary to do that, because If the computer is turned off or if
the task does not run at the scheduled time, the task will run the next time
that the computer is idle.

Hi BillD,

Yes, that is true. Thank you for mentioning it. It can be handy to have
it set to wake up the computer to run and finish when you know you are
not using the computer though. This way it does not have to wait on the
computer to be idle or at low usage.

Thank you again,
Shawn

First... start your OWN thread when you have a problem, rather than
piggyback on an old thread that is dead.

Don't use that program. Go here, they have a free program and it works
better.....
