Do a regular disk defragment (this is like doing filing within your comp - puts files back in place) from "all programmes>system tools>defragment".  Install a programme like cccleaner (a free download), this cleans everything from temp files, memory dumps, MRU lists and a tonne of stuff.  AVG FREE antivirus is great.  Make sure your Firewall is turned on through your Security centre in the control panel...if you run all these programmmes on a regular basis it should keep things running smoothly, alternatively upgrade your memory as the fuller it becomes the slower things will get.  Hope this helps :)

some programs (virus software ) write to the disk constantly and as the task of disk defrag is to reassemble the parts of data on the HDD this means it will have to redo it again. that is i think what is causing the freeze. try stopping any constantly running software like antivirus software stop them and run the scan disk.this should work. if it does not it is likely dat u ha some virus on ur system.(or spyware)try scanning that out with NAV. then run it again.drop ina msg or chat if u have any more trouble.

Try running defrag in safe mode.\n\nMany times we will find ourselves in a situation where we need to troubleshoot our computer. Whether it is to remove the final traces of a virus or a piece of spyware that just will not go away, we may find it easier to perform these tasks in Safe Mode. While in Safe Mode, Windows will only load a very basic video driver along with just the essential files needed to run the operating system. Some functions, such as Network connectivity, will not be activated in Safe Mode. This will then allow you to perform troubleshooting techniques to deal with problems such as those listed above. Therefore, this technical brief will show you how to Boot Up Your Computer In Safe Mode.\n\n\nFor Windows 98 And Windows Millennium\n\nRestarting your computer by first clicking on the Start Button.\n\nThen click on Shut Down and choose Restart to Restart your computer.\n\nImmediately after the POST diagnostics and memory count completes, start tapping the F8 key.\n\nWhen the Startup Menu appears, Choose the Safe Mode option with your arrow keys and hit Enter.\n\nWindows will now boot your computer up in Safe Mode.

If you are looking to fix errors beyond disk cleanup and defrag, try uniblues registry booster. Alot of problems in windows get bloated from daily installs and downloads. It's amazing how fast a new cpu can become filled with deadends.\nA good well designed registry checker really cleans up alot of loose ends.\nHope this helps.

On a windows computer, hit start, then programs, then accessories, then system tools, and there should be "Disk Defragmenter." Start up that program, and follow the instructions.\n\nYou should defrag your computer every few months to keep it working at top speed.

There are several possibilities:\n\n1) Defrag is in your start up directory.\n2) Defrag was told to run upon the next reboot and won't stop running until it's allowed to finish.

Try defraging the hard drive. Click on start-click programs-scroll to accessories,system tools then click on disk defragmenter. While in the program click on analyze it will probably tell you it doesn't need defraging but defrag it anyway.

Stand on your head and explain what you mean...\n\nOr if you mean defragment, DO IT IN SAFE MODE where your antivirus software will not interfere with the job.

Defrag if it needs defragmenting then do a disk clean up every week or so. Won't really make your computer go super fast but as fast as it can go. Also get a good antivirus program such as Norton, McAfee or a free one is AVG. You could add more RAM and a better proccesor. If you dont want to spend that much money then go to some websites to try CPU overclocking. Although that may be for experienced computer users and may screw up your computer if done incorrectly. Also spyware slows down your computer. Download Spyware Doctor, Lavasoft, S&D. Another solution buy a faster computer. :)
