Can you have the Windows XP or Windows 7 start menu on Windows 8 instead of the Metro start screen?
In Windows 8 Developers Preview it was possible to just disable the Metro theme with a simple registry edit. And this brought back the Windows 7 start menu.

But you can install several third party software's that will bring back both the start orb and Windows XP,Classic Windows 98 or Windows 7 start menu. The most well known software is Classic Shell which puts both the start orb and the Windows XP start menu into Windows 8.The latest version has been updated recently to work on Windows 8.

Disc defrag won't finish on windows xp?
The very best way to run defrag is to startup your PC in Safe Mode and then run the defrag. Safe Mode is available by rebooting your PC and start tapping your F8 key (I tap it about once a second) until a menu comes up asking how you want to startup. Select the Safe Mode option and enter. ... if you're in the normal mode close all applications that are running then defrag but still the best way is "to run defrag is to startup your PC in Safe Mode..."

Then go to properties, click on Tools and then on Defragment now, It may defrag right then or most likely it will tell you the it will defrag the next time you start your computer. That may help the problem. If not it will not hurt. Give it a try... Good Luck
Is there a combo antivirus package that defrags also?

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.
