If you look at the author's site, Atribune ATF-Cleaner is for XP and Windows 2000 only. I realize many use it on more current versions of Windows,...
XP's defragger was on-demand only, it was not enabled by default so not sure why Diskeeper would (or could) disable it. As for Windows 7 and...
Glad it worked and thanks for the followup. Merry Christmas & Happy New Year!
Yeah, I sure would scan for malware but first, I would clean out the clutter with Windows XP Disk Cleanup, TFC by Oldtimer (the most aggressive...
Long ago and far away when disks were smaller and slower, when 1Gb of system RAM was a lot, and when Windows itself took forever to start and was...
Actually, more and more computer monitors today are digital only. Some may support analog to support legacy (old, analog video) computers. Analog...

Yeah, some times, especially on a crowded disk, defragging can take a long time, and appear to be hung. Both Norton and Windows defrag...
It could have been a glitch but I suspect what happened is related to what I said above about the different programs using different algorithms to...
I know this has been resolved but... You really should discard Norton and Auslogics defrag tools. It is not that they are bad, just totally...
It does. But it also applies to ANY ONE who builds computers. That includes self-builders. That is also why they are really called OEM/System...
I think the easy way to remember is that flash drives typically connect via USB - meaning they typically are "removable" storage devices....
I found this but I would caution against this practice. When thinking security, most people don't consider what might happen if a badguy breaks...
