Suggesting alternative software may do the job, but it does not help the OP (or other readers) solve the underlying problem.
Do you have any idea why the Windows Defrag software does not work?

These news groups are intended to help solve basic problems with Vista Performance.
I get a bit disappointed at:
People tying to sell their preference for Linux and
People acting like spoiled juveniles with flaming and name calling.

I would recommend that you don't run the defragger manually.

In a default Vista installation it runs automatically, once per week. It
runs slowly (lowest I/O and CPU priority) and doesn't interfere with your
work in any way.

Furthermore, it works. If you just leave it be, disk fragmentation will
never get severe enough to affect the performance of your machine.

Having said that, I don't understand why you are getting that report back
each time you use it. Would you tell us EXACTLY how you are initiating the
defragmentation?

*-Thank you all for trying to assist me and jcgriff2 without been smart,
I would just wanted the Defragment utility that came with the OS will
work. You see dear, this way, I will make certain perhaps that other
utilities in Vista are working preporly.-*

*-Steve dear, I also appreciate your assistance.-*
*-During the month I have own this laptop, I have run the disc
defragmentation two ways:-*
*-a) in auto mode-*
*-b) manually-*
*- as I previously mentioned on my first message, no matter in which
mode I -*
*- run the defrag. I always get the ame message -! Your file system
performance can be improved
*it is recommended that you defragment now.*
-I tried to run it last night, it was working for one hour, then got
the same error.-*
*--*
*-These are the steps that I am taking starting the defragmentation:-*
*-a) close all open programs (that inclludes making the screen saver to
off)-*
*-b) click StratAll ProgramsAccessoriesSystem ToolsDisc
Deframenter-*
*-c) In manual mode (for testing reasons when Run on a schedule
(recommended) is not checked, I click "Defragment now..." and after one
hour or so, I am getting -! Your file system performance can be improved
*it is recommended that you defragment now.*

Your English is fine but all the asterisks are very annoying.

I appreciate and do note your comments; however...

I don't get a "bit disappointed" by the last two items you stated - I
am absolutely appalled by such actions. I do get disappointed by
non-contributing informational posts.

I fully understand the intended purpose of these newsgroups and forums
as I am a Moderator, Microsoft Support, elsewhere with a proven track
record of solved threads and have contributed over 6,000 posts in the
last 10 months - most of which include troubleshooting major Vista
system issues and BSOD crash dump analysis.

No, I don't (yet) know the reason the Vista defrag appears not to be
functioning properly. The intended purpose of my suggestion to run
Auslogics defrag was to see if it would successfully complete. If the
message from the Vista defrag then continued, my next suggestion would
be to run cleanmgr, sfc, HDD diagnostics, chkdsk, investigation of
WERCON and the Event Viewer System & Application logs to see what other
problems exist within the OPs system that may have precipitated the
defrag messages. I don't believe the only system issue the OP has is the
Vista defrag utility. I wouldn't be surprised to find interrupts and
page faults present in PERFMON. Hopefully we'll soon know.

@*Dina* - I would suggest that you run the Vista system health report -
save it in HTML format -
START | type *perfmon /rel* - hit enter | 60 seconds the output will
appear in the Reliability & Performance Monitor viewer; click on File;
Save; save as report file - HTML file extension.

Run msinfo32 and save as an NFO (system info file) -
START | type *msinfo32* - hit enter | the viewer will appear | Save the
file in NFO format - you'll see the NFO default file extension when you
go to save it.

Zip up the HTML and NFO files and attach to your next post.

Regards. . .

Very good response. I did not realize your suggested change in defrag software was to check the system.
My use of "disappointed" in the last reference was an attempt to stay out of the flame wars.
I learn a lot from these news groups and can occasionally even help.

Hi Richard. . .

Tried to send PM, but could not. So I will make non-related thread
topic post here.

My apologies if I flamed any fans here - I should and do know better.
You would have no way of knowing what my intended purpose was w/
Auslogics defrag. I had just finished long BSOD thread only to find out
Vista cracked copy. Nothing worse than spending time trying to help only
to find out there was never a chance for solution b/c of illegal Vista.

I agree w/ you about subversion of Vista w/Linux and alternatives as
that is not the answer to a stable Vista OS.

Kind Regards. . .

JC

Hello everyone,
I've been having the same problem as Dina, and i don't know what to do.
My HP laptop has been running really slow lately so I decided to
defragment it but it doesn't seem to work.
jcgriff2, i did what you said and i ran the -perfmon /rel -and also
-msinfo32. -I am joining my zipped files and hope you can propose me a
solution.-
-Thank you for your help.-
