But always make sure that you have absolutely NOTHING running in the background, otherwise it will just keep going back to 1% and NEVER finish.

And make sure that you have at least 25% free space on the hard drive so the computer has space to shuffle things around. If you try and defrag a hard drive which is nearly full, we'll all be like Tikay by the time it's done.

I normally shut off the internet, shut off the anti-virus and firewall, then do a Ctrl, Alt & Del to check nothing else is running. Easiest was is to just exit everything that is in the sys tray I find. (Sys tray bottom right hand corner of task bar). Where your clock is and your MSN man sits.

If it is annoying anyone, it's not my fault it's the University server booting me out and logging me back in, all I can suggest is that weekdays between the hours of 8:30am and 5pm you block me! |
