Running Win 98 se, 5 year old Packard Bell which has been good to me.
I defrag in safe mode as this is the only way that the computer will have
it.

After scandisk & defrag I run Norton Speed Disk which tells me that I still
have fragmentation.
After this I run Diskeeper Lite (freeware) which tells me that ''this volume
is heavily fragmented''.

Does anybody which program is telling lies?

Appreciated.

Steve

It's in .pdf format which means you need the Adobe reader in order to view
it. It's a free download;

Thanks.
I have recently & very cleverly kicked it off my ageing computer as I saw no
need for it.
Sometimes I think that I should cut my fingers off!

Here's the google conversion of the article to html
http://64.233.179.104/search?q=cache...fraggers&hl=en

Here's where you go to Adobe to get Adobe to convert one for you
http://www.adobe.com/products/acroba...linetools.html

You can take my link and feed it to the adobe converter.

Actually the article is not /that/ great to be talking about it this
much; what would be better would be a compare and contrast some
freeware ones.

My guess would be the Microsoft program.

Each defragger has its own optimisation routine - and none are similar.
You will ALWAYS get disagreements between opposing defraggers, and they are
ALL right!<g>

pick a single defragger, and keep on using it, your system (and hairstyle)
will thank you.

BTW, DO NOT allow Norton to 'Optimise the Swapfile' - it WILL kill your
system sooner or later.
