re: What's wrong with the defragmenter ? Thursday, June 7, 2001 at 7:18 pm Windows 98 Annoyances Discussion Forum Posted by Robert DeFusco (116 messages posted) Something is running that is changing the drives contents, possibly a virus scanner... when I defrag I ctrl+alt+del and end every task but explorer, then run defrag.. you can try that, or try booting to safe mode and defrag from there.
