Try registering the defragmenter dll's. From a command prompt issue these three commands, pressing <enter> after each command (line): cd %systemroot%\system32 regsvr32 dfrgsnap.dll regsvr32 dfrgui.dll John SD wrote: > Defragmenter will no initialize. It worked 10 days ago. Help? > > |

Look in the %systemroot%\system32\dllcache folder for regsvr32.exe and copy it to the system32 folder and try again. Something may have gotten skewed with your Windows installation, the regsvr32 file should be in the system32 folder. Did you eliminate the possibility of virus or other malware on your system? Do you have enough free space on the disk for the defrag tool to work? Did you do a disk cleanup and get rid of temporary internet files? Sometimes these files can cause the defragmenter to have hiccups. If all else fails try reinstalling the defragmenter. Look in the WINDOWS\INF folder for dfrg.inf right click on it and select install.

I read somewhere that if the pagefile is too small the defragmenter might not work properly. The suggestion, which apparently works for many, was to set the pagefile to a static size of 2X RAM (twice the size of installed RAM). Easy enough to try, see what happens. Other than that the only thing I can suggest would be to run an sfc /scannow on the machine.

John John, Thanks for your patience and help. Did Kellys Korner, 280 no help, ran scannow sfc tool, no help. Don't know where to go now. No clue what caused defrag not function. No new hardware or software installed. Thanks again.

I don't think these would have anything to do with the problem at hand. And the pagefile deal, that didn't do anything? I'm pretty well out of ideas other than to try an in-place upgrade (reinstall) and I can tell you that I would not go through that hassle just for the sake of the defragmenter. Maybe one of these can help: http://tinyurl.com/e5ke2 The one above may cause more "fragmentation" so maybe try this instead: http://www.softpedia.com/get/System/Hard-Disk-Utils/Diskeeper-Lite.shtml At this point that is pretty well how I would fix the problem... any one of these two options should end the defrag problem. Maybe somebody else has other suggestions.

Thanks John John, will think about it. Strange condition, nothing in the defrag folder responds to mouse clicks, File menu, Action , Help Menu.
