From: RR on 17 Dec 2009 18:23 after a bad crash, motherboard replacement and Windows re-install, defrag is not working. Error message is as follows: "MMC cannot open the file C:\windows\system32\dfrg.msc. This may be because the file does not exist, is not an MMC console, or was created by a later version of MMC. The may also be because you do not have sufficient access rights to the file. " I have already reinstalled Windows. Of all the years of working with computers I have never seen this message.

I don't have that file anywhere (Win7 Ultimate x64) and my native defragger works fine. The MS defrag program I have is dfrgui.exe -- Crash "It is not necessary to change.

XP, click Start/Programs/Administrative Tools you should see that there Vista and Win7, you can simply right on C: (or your system drive letter) after opening My Computer and choose to defrag from there. Or Click Start/Help and Support and type defrag in the search field, and you get a help box with the defrag link in it.

Windows Vista and Windows 7 are constantly defraging unless you disable it. Computers will usually run faster with defrag disabled. I find defraggler works pretty good with these two operating systems. I guess this doesn't answer any your questions though. -- TEKMATE ------------------------------------------------------------------------ TEKMATE's Profile: http://forums.techarena.in/members/163105.htm View this thread: http://forums.techarena.in/windows-x64-edition/1283627.htm http://forums.techarena.in |
