Restore standard windows defrag

[sarahknz]

When we first got win2k prof we installed Norton Utilities and it became a useful tool to have in the background. Used it every so often.

We installed all the windows updates and nortons updates etc and somewhere along the line our OS version got out of sync with the supported nortons OS. Instead of gracefully backing out and saying, I can't work with this, Nortons is no longer letting us defrag.

How do I restore the standard windows defrag utility?

I would go into Safe Mode and see if it does the same thing there. This will tell you if it is in fact something loading and not the OS. I would also disable Norton from starting and start it after the system is loaded up.

Sussed it! Had an inspiration and went trawling through the Administrative tools in the Control Panel and found an option to defrag. Seems to have worked.

thanks for taking the time to reply.
