Repair the Defrag Utility in Windows XP.
Defragging your hard drive is important. Over time, files on your disk become
fragmented which results in lower hard drive performance. If your
Windows XP
Defrag Utility has been not working properly, you will be pleased to know that
you can repair it without resorting to a repair install.
You will need to grab the XP defrag files from the
Windows XP Disk. Stick your XP Disk into your CD Drive, then when the autoplay
box pops up, close it.
Now you need to launch a
command prompt window, so click
then
Type cmd then click
Now, you need to get the XP defrag files off of the
CD, to
do this we will use the Expand command.
Please note that the commands I have listed below work if
your main drive is C:\ and the CD Drive is D:\ . You will have to check to see
what drive letter your main drive and your
CD Drive is before you continue. If
your main drive and/or your
CD Drive is assigned to a different letter, please
adjust the command accordingly. (Note: after each line Hit the Enter Key, if you
get a message asking if you want to replace an existing file, type y
for yes)
expand D:\i386\dfrg.ms_ C:\windows\system32\dfrg.msc
expand D:\i386\dfrgfat.ex_ C:\windows\system32\dfrgfat.exe
expand D:\i386\dfrgntfs.ex_ C:\windows\system32\dfrgntfs.exe
expand D:\i386\dfrgres.dl_ C:\windows\system32\dfrgres.dll
expand D:\i386\dfrgsnap.dl_ C:\windows\system32\dfrgsnap.dll
expand D:\i386\dfrgui.dl_ C:\windows\system32\dfrgui.dll
expand D:\i386\defrag.ex_ C:\windows\system32\defrag.exe
Finally, we need to re-register our Dlls, so we need to
launch a command prompt window, so click the start button then run, then type
CMD and then hit enter.
Type the following commands (hitting Enter at the end of
each line). Note: You will get a pop up box confirming that the dll has
registered successfully
CD C:\Windows\System32
regsvr32 dfrgui.dll
regsvr32 dfrgsnap.dll
regsvr32 dfrgres.dll
