Running Vista for 60 days and yesterday the defrag died.
I have tried every thing I know.
The command promp---windows tools.===Open my computer--then C: and
propertys and click on defrag -nata thing.
Went into C:\ and found DEFRAG.EXE and click on it ==I got a flash and
that was all.
I am 80 years old and this Vista is killing me

I've seen this problem a lot with Vista. Best chance is to just reformat
your disk and reinstall Vista.

I have a small business with a 6 PC's. Two have Vista and two have XP, one
still Win2K and the other has Fedora 7.

Vista is a very bloated operating system. It is far too complicated to play
around with a try and fix. Like a car, sometimes it's just better to dump
the old piece of **** and buy a new one.

Reformat and reinstall and life will be back to normal.
