Vista Home P x64 defrag

My system won't launch defrag anymore since the lastest updates for Vista
x64. I've rebooted several times thinking something didn't load correctly,
checked to see if defrag was loaded in background and such. Don't know if
this was caused by the updates or not. Right now I'm using Auslogics until
this problem is cleared up. Any suggestions besides unintalling updates
would be appreciated.

Well .. this is just an idea and it side-steps any issues with your updates
... but:

Enter

You should get instructions on how to use defrag and the switches available.
If so, then to defragment C: drive type:

defrag c:

at the Command Prompt.

Furthermore, you can create a batch file that will defrag all the harddrives
in your system thusly:

@echo off
defrag -c -v

That's not the C: drive that's the -c switch and -v switch. Make a shortcut
to the batch file and set the shortcut to run with admin privileges [I can
explain how if you need instructions]. To run it regularly, simply schedule
the shortcut [I can explain how if you need instructions].

Thanks for the response but that doesn't fix the problem.

Problem fixed.

Today updater had some files that need to load from MS and the updates
didn't load, it gave me an error message (which I didn't write down), anyway,
I followed the error code to the definition which told me to start cmd and
type in the illustrated command using adminstrative mode. This command
basically deleted a startup update log which was corrupt when I restarted my
computer. Evidently was the file was corrupt from the previous updates that
updated this log. Anyway by deleting this log fixed my OS defrag problem and
now I'm happy.
