repeated interruption of disc defragmenter

H

HARRY S

I have great difficulty defragmenting my disk since
installing Office XP in Windows 98. I tried shutting down
the antivirus programs to see if this was a problem but
did not solve it. It appears that something starts to run
in the background after say 3 minutes and as a result the
defragmentation process becomes interrupted repeatedly and
cannot complete. Any ideas?

Ctrl+Alt+Del and shut down everything except Explorer and Systray. Then try
it again.
