Whats the best order to clean up windows?
For Windows 95, 98 and ME Disk Cleanup, Scandisk Defrag _________________________ For Windows 2000 / XP Disk Cleanup, Defrag, chkdsk/r
Why does your OS Windows 98SE get stuck at 2 on defrag and stay there without completing the defrag and how can you get it to complete the defrag?
Run ScanDisk first. If you have disk errors, Defrag will not run. If ScanDisk will not run, install Norton System Works. Run Norton WinDoc, let it repair any Windows errors. Next, run Norton's Disk Doctor (Norton's version of ScanDisk). Once all that runs, reboot your system, run Windows ScanDisk and then Defrag. Always reboot after you run your maintenance programs. Also, make sure you dump your cache (Temporary Internet, Temp, Recent, History & Cookies) before starting your maintenance programs. I struggled with that problem for a long time. I found out that the defragmenter that comes with Windows 98 is not worth the disk space it takes up. However, with Windows ME, the problems had been fixed. So, the best solution I found is to replace the 98 defrag with the ME defrag. This article explains how to do it: http://aroundcny.com/technofile/texts/tec060902.html It works and you'll be amazed at the difference.
Is there a combo antivirus package that defrags also?
If you have a Windows system, there is already a disk defragmenter installed onto the computer. Just click on the Start button and in the search box enter "disk defrag". Click on the program labeled Disk Defragmenter. To be able to defrag a disk, you need administrator rights.
Is disk keeper lite a virus in disguise?
Hardly! The Defrag tool in Windows is a scaled-down version of Diskkeeper.
How can you defragment a disk?
Go to the disk->right click->properties->extra->defrag --------------------------------------------------------------------------- If you are defragmenting with the Windows tool, you will also have to ensure that there is atleast 15% free space to defrag and ideally no other programs running should interrupt the task. The built in defragger also does not defrag system files. If you want, you can check out trial versions of comemrcial defrag programs that overcome all these limitations.
How do you fix a new netbook that is so slow and has no viruses and is only 3 months old?
Maybe it needs a disk clean-up ! Run the Windows disk clean-up program, followed by disk defrag.
How do you defragment a computer?

Can defrag and scan disk be run from a command line utility as well as a window base utility?
yes, that is if you' re running windows XP & below.
When do you run disk defragmenter?
Disk defrag must be run regularly (or set to auto defrag) to keep the hard drive free of fragmentation and maintain the performance of the computer at a high level. Fragmentation of files (occurs 'naturally' when you write or modify a file on the hard drive). Windows comes with a built-in defragmenter, but it's not very good IMO: it's very slow, doesn't defrag all files (especially important system files), doesn't defrag properly when disk space is low, and is not flexible. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Its good to be proactive when it comes to defrag because once the fragmentation levels become high or if your free space drops below 15%, it be comes very difficult to defrag with the native disk dferagmenter. It also takes a very long time to complete the defrag.
What command is used to defragment your c drive in windows disk defragmenter and displays analysis and fragmentaion reports?
For a complete defrag and a graphic user interface, you will have to consider commercial defrag options (free programs do have a GUI but features are no better than the built in defrag). Get something that can truly run in the automatic mode and defrag intelligently without manual inputs.
You have Windows XP and it will not defrag so does anyone have the answer?
Some common reasons for problems in defragmentation are- (1) Not enough disk free space since the XP defragmenter needs atleast 15% free disk space to defrag. (2) Fragmented system files such as the Master File Table (MFT) or the Page File. The XP defragmenter cannot defrag these. You can clear up some disk space by doing a disk cleanup with the 'Properties' option by right clicking the drive in 'My Computer'. To get around these issues, especially (2), you'll need a third party defragmenter such as Diskeeper 2009. Diskeeper can also defrag in very low space conditions, as well as defragment the MFT and Page File. You may need to run a boot-time defrag after a conventional defrag to completely defrag these system files.
