DarkSnakeKobra Posted October 18, 2010 ID:329098 Share Posted October 18, 2010 Saturday night explorer was repeatability crashing after a defrag with Defraggler. I noticed a few odd symptoms that weren't normal.1. Defraggler was at 72% most of the day. Checked several hours apart and seemed to never change. About 10:00 Pm I canceled(should have finished by now).2. Stopped it and after rebooted to safe mode with network for a full scan with mbam(haven't done in while) mbam could not update and froze on multiple occasions.3. Rebooted into normal mode explorer did nothing, but crash.Around 10:00 I canceled the defrag, reanalyzed and ran a quick defrag before rebooting. Once I rebooted into safe mode with network I had to kill mbam with the task manager about 2-3 times before rebooting into normal. Once I rebooted, only FortiClient and Pidgin and nothing else(no sound icon, wireless ect). I did have desktop icons, but no pinned items(that I remember). Immediately after clicking start I received the error popup with check for solutions restart and debug. Clicked restart which flashed the desktop and clicked start again with the same problem. Several tries went by before deciding to do a clean install. I booted into safe mode(oddly that wasn't affected)and checked for anything I might want to backup first.Any idea what may have caused this? Afraid to run defraggler after that issue.

yardbird Posted October 18, 2010 ID:329101 Share Posted October 18, 2010 I would do a check disk, then for 30 days you can use this: http://www.diskeeper.com/diskeeper/home/trialware.aspxany other issues with the above, and you should consider all scans for infections... good luck...

wildman424 Posted October 18, 2010 ID:329119 Share Posted October 18, 2010 I have never experienced anything like that with Defraggler I'm currious to what may have caused it have you ran diskcheck or tried any thing else to repair it before you decided to do a clean install Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Root Admin AdvancedSetup Posted October 18, 2010 Root Admin ID:329134 Share Posted October 18, 2010 There is no need to use an external defragmenting program unless you really must have some special setting. You can schedule the command line version even on Windows XP to run whenever you want, and on Windows 7 its already setup for you out of the box.Probably just something wrong with the disk. CHKDSK C: /R then after it's finished check the Event Logs for what it found and did. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Decided not to mess with anything. Backup image I had, had magic jack installed which caused lot of problems.@RonWindows 2008 R2 doesn't it have it auto scheduled. Probably because it's a server based OS and several features are turned off/ not installed by default. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
noknojon Posted October 18, 2010 ID:329431 Share Posted October 18, 2010 Server Core : 2008 Default user interface for Server CoreWindows Server 2008 includes a variation of installation called Server Core. Server Core is a significantly scaled-back installation where no Windows Explorer shell is installed. All configuration and maintenance is done entirely through command line interface windows, or by connecting to the machine remotely using Microsoft Management Console. However, Notepad and some control panel applets, such as Regional Settings, are available.2008 is a Vista pack squashed into an XP package (best description) - It was only "experimental" leading up to final end of Vista and leading onto Win 7 - It seems to miss a lot of bits that some of the full releases were provided with -Sounds like my XP Windows defrag program that has not worked for about 2 years (some .dll's are missing/corrupted and can not be replaced ??)That was when I looked for , and eventually settled on , Defraggler as my only defrag program - Windows will start but always jam after 5 mins - Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
