#60041 - 12/10/04 05:12 AM Unable to defrag
Louisa Member Registered: 07/11/04 Posts: 2132 Loc: MA	I'm having pc problems and it's driving me nuts. I can't defrag and I can't do scandisk. Worse than that, I can't download photos from the digital camera all of a sudden. I can't seem to use the usb port at all. I spent about 2 hours downloading the security edition of aol 9.0 tonight and when it was almost done, it shut down and it never downloaded. The pc works fine other than that. I cna't stand it when my computer acts up. anyone ever have this happen? Louisa

Do you know about remote assistant( someone can take over your computer from anywhere) with permission of course. I do that with my sis in Canada all the time...and I'm here in the good old USA. Have you tried system restore? Just a few (of many)suggestions...worth a try maybe Oh yes...did you scan for ...Ahem...the "V" thing Good Luck...

It cost $35.00 but not until 30 dayts later and only if it works for you, then its $4.00 a month and worth 10 times that. Check it out, this is oe that actually works and does what it says it does.

Louisa Member Registered: 07/11/04 Posts: 2132 Loc: MA	I think I fixed it myself after all the crazy things I went through. It wouldn't do scandisk. It kept getting stuck. I couldn't use the usb port. It wouldn't download my pictures. I knew it was okay when I downloaded my vacation photos in Nov. At that time, I also had a picture cd I had made at Walgreen's of the vacation photos. I uninstalled it and now the thing seems fine. I spoke to our pc tech at work the other day. He said it's possible that the Kodak Easy Share software from the picute cd took over the space on the drive. There ain't enough fightin' going on in this world, I have to have software fighting over a space on my motherboard. Louisa

Evie Member Registered: 08/27/03 Posts: 791 Loc: Nipigon, Ontario Canada	I know this was a computer topic, but I couldn't help thinking that the subject line "unable to defrag" perfectly describes how stressed I've been feeling lately I need to defrag!!! PS - software conflicts are a pain - especially when trying to figure out which one is causing the conflict!

DonnaJ Member Registered: 11/01/03 Posts: 1076 Loc: Ohio, USA	Louisa, I installed a Kodak Easy Share CD and ended up with problems, too. I finally had to uninstall it. Also - the computer's hard disk needs a certain percentage free in order to run a defrag. Delete all you can first, and then try again maybe. Nothing more aggravating, except maybe car trouble.
