    Hi
    I run windows xp corp.when I start the defragprog it comes to about 15%
    analyse when it stops and I get this error message.
    "the analyse can't go on because of an error in the
    file:c:\windows\system32\settings.sfm.Does anybody know how to solve this?
    Thank's in advance

    How odd. I tried both, just now, and they work fine from here.
    Try the shorter one again and give it a few seconds to carry you to
    the long link.

    Did you run chkdsk before defragging?

    Well when you hit the defrag button the prog starts with analyzing the
    partision in concern.And I thought that was enough?But now I did run chkdsk
    first and that does not seems to
    change anything.Boomer,the link worked out now.It took me to a
    google site And I'm looking for anything usefull there at the moment.
