Thanks much for the advice. I’ll give it a try. Best wishes

Hello and thanks for the reply. The BKF file that I currently have on a removable drive is 7,877,950 KB. It is a backup for a restore in case the C drive fails. I would like to put the BKF file on CDs. I am not experienced with splitting files. I do not know if splitting the BKF file would still allow it to be used for a restore.

Thank you for the tip. I tried it but there is no change in my ability to access the add/remove program via the control panel.

Thank you for the information- it has been very helpful.

Alan,

Thanks for the info. I just installed Auslogics program and so far it seems to be doing an excellent defrag job on my PC.

Thanks. I’ll give it a try if the Auslogics defragger doesn’t work out.

Hello. I’m just letting you know that I downloaded and tried to install the PowerDefrag program. With my installation attempts I received the onscreen message that contig.exe needed to be placed next to PowerDefrag.exe program. I was then prompted if I wished to download contig.exe since it was not available. I clicked yes and then was told that contig.exe could not be found on the website that my browser had been directed to. I was able to install a defragger made by Auslogics. It seems to defrag my PC quickly and well according to the Windows XP disk analysis component of the defragger. Thanks again for your time and information. Kim

Thanks Leif. Your information is very useful. Thnaks for the reply. Kim

Thanks again. The main difficulty I have had with the Windows XP defragger is when I tried to defrag a disk with under 15% available space. I tried to force a defrag by typing in defrag c: /f in the run command window (Start, Run) which I had read sometimes works. Unfortunately I was unable to defrag the drive until I freed up to greater than 15% available space. If you have any ideas on how to defrag a drive with under 15% available space with the Windows XP defragger, I’d love to know.

Best Wishes,
Kim

Thanks again for your reply and the info about the defrag program. Do you know of any reason why someone would want to run a defrag with the PC in safe mode?

Respectfully,

Thank-you for your reply. Do you know of any reason why anyone would want to defrag a PC in safe mode?

Kim

Thanks for the reply. I’m using the defrag program that comes with XP. I don’t recall where I read that the antivirus program should be shut down during a defrag. I do know that on my PC the defrag time is dramatically reduced when I turn off the antivirus program. Have you any knowledge of defraging with the PC in safe mode? I’ve never come across anything on that topic.

Thanks,
Kim

Thanks for the info.

Bob the Viking: Thanks again. The unlocker program worked very well without any apparent adverse effects on my PC. Best Wishes, Kim
