Defrag will not work

[pinkdog]

Win 98 operating system.... My computer will not defrag. When I try it, it just freezes. HELP..... Also a separate problem after sign on to windows my system boots up a c/win system screen with a ton of stuff on it. It takes forever to boot up. I have checked by running misconfig, and under my start up items and I cannot find it listed to uncheck it. Any thoughts?

I was in your boat for a long time until I discovered that it works just fine if I start up in the SAFE mode. I generally defrag after I am through for the day since it does take awhile. Don't forget to run scandisk first!
