Wednesday, February 17th, 2010

For those of you who have a slow computer and don’t know how to defrag, try this before you call a computer repair service.

In Windows XP

Click on Start – All Programs – Accessories – System Tools – Disk Defragmenter.
The Disk Defragmenter will open.
Click on System (C:)
Click the Analyze Button – A message will tell you if you need to defragment.
If you do press the Defragment – This process could take several hours depending on how fragmented your disks are. At the bottom of the window you will see the progress in terms of percent finished.
Close out of the program when finished.

Windows Vista – Defragmentation is normally done automatically. To bring up defragmentation options Search for Defragment in the Start Menu.

Windows 7 – Same as Vista.
