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 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. . .
