From: cgee on 21 Feb 2010 05:26 I recently had my pc in for repair and now I cannot defrag. When I select that option a screen appears saying MMC CANNOT OPEN THE FILE C\/WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\dfrg.msc Then it says this may because the file does not exist, is not an MMC console, or was created by a later version . This may also be because you do not have sufficient access rights to the file. I have always been able to defrag. The other problem I have is Window search it says it is not running and I have to select search companion in order to search. -- cgee

Try these steps and best if you updated the system to the latest Services Pack (SP3): - Open a run command and type in: regsvr32 msxml3.dll click [OK] or Hit Enter regsvr32 dfrgsnap.dll click [OK] or Hit Enter Restart the machine and try the defrag process, does it help? - If the above didn't help try to reinstall the Inf file for the defrag utility: Go to C:\Windows\Inf, right click at dfrg.inf file and select Install. If the file above not showing please make sure the option to show hidden files and folder checked then you can hide them after reinstalling. Reboot your machine, does it help solving your issue? - If still having trouble try this reg file and also reboot your system after applying the reg file: http://www.kellys-korner-xp.com/regs_edits/defragsnapin.reg Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00 [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{43668E21-2636-11D1-A1CE-0080C88593A5}] @="DfrgSnapin Class" [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{43668E21-2636-11D1-A1CE-0080C88593A5}\InprocServer32] @="C:\\WINDOWS\\System32\\dfrgsnap.dll" "ThreadingModel"="Apartment" [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{43668E21-2636-11D1-A1CE-0080C88593A5}\ProgID] @="DfrgSnapin.DfrgSnapin.1" [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{43668E21-2636-11D1-A1CE-0080C88593A5}\TypeLib] @="{CD83A785-6F75-11D2-A385-00609772642E}" [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{43668E21-2636-11D1-A1CE-0080C88593A5}\VersionIndependentProgID] @="DfrgSnapin.DfrgSnapin" - Update to the latest MMC version from here: MMC 3.0 update is available for Windows Server 2003 and for Windows XP http://support.microsoft.com/kb/907265 You receive a “Cannot open <Snap-in Name>” error message when you try to start MMC on a Windows XP-based computer http://support.microsoft.com/kb/326574 HTH nass -- http://www.nasstec.co.uk
