DiskKeeper's uninstall on Windows 2000 is flawed - it doesn't re-register the builtin version. Simply type "regsvr32 dfrgsnap.dll" and "regsvr32 dfrgui.dll" This should do the trick Matt m.t.ellis@swansea.ac.uk On Sunday, June 22, 2003 at 6:16 pm, Janice McCoy wrote: >My Presario 1500 is doing the same thing except it says the defrager is not installed >and I am lost! > > [Reply or follow-up to this message] re: problem to use disk defragmenter Friday, August 1, 2003 at 9:18 pm Posted by João Luiz (2 messages posted) Hi, To solve your problem, try this wonderful trick I had found, originally from Matthew.

I successfully ran the commands specified below. The Defragmenter MMC loads successfully, however when I want to Analyze or Defragment the Hard Drive, nothing happens when I press the corresponding buttons. I've looked on the Microsoft site but they don't seem to have any solutions for this problem on WIndows XP. Can you or anybody maybe help me out here? I really don't want to reinstall because this is the server for a small LAN. Thank you.

It worked partially. I finally solved it reinstalling the original defragmenter. Go to C:\WINDOWS\INF directory, right click the DFRG.INF file and select INSTALL. Hope it can help you as well Marceloc On Thursday, August 7, 2003 at 3:41 am, Crusty wrote: >Hi, > >I have the same disk defragmenter problem with Windows XP Professional.

Now the original winxp disk defragmenter works as a charm for me again. :) [Reply or follow-up to this message] Tip: Use one of the [Reply or follow-up to this message] links above to add a message to this thread Search this forum Start a new thread on a different subject Report abuse of the forum Return to the Windows 2000 Discussion Forum
