Norton has been de-fragmenting my disc optimisation since last night and is still running.

Is this right please ... and, is it okay to still use the computer or should I close all programmes down?

Feeling a bit dippy at the moment.

Thank you

xxx Shimms xxx

Do I look like Einstein !!!!!!!!!!!

Sorry Shimms not my area lol

the problem could be, that if you carry on useing your comp, the defrag will keep restarting, if you have things running in the back ground, again defrag will restart, it shouldn't take more than a couple of hours to defrag.

Now how would I know Ray?!

>>>>>>>>> Cheeky boy, am a damsel in distress!

Oh bless, a knight in white shining armour!

Thanks RB, will close all my programmes down, see what happens, makes sense too. xxx

Crossing my fingers, if I don't return please ... be gallant, send out a search party lol!

Please, pretty please boys! :))

Oh dear, me thinks Shimms has gone missing.
She's been imprisoned by the evil one called computer

OK lads I think we'll need to rescue the fair maiden!

Tally Ho!!!!

"SHIMMS, PRESS THE START BUTTON!!"

Tally-ho?

Think Steve thinks you're foxy, Shimms!! lol

As RB says, you have to shut down all the other stuff that's running. My pc de-frags in just over an hour.

Kidnapped by the pooter

HEYULP HEYULP, closed down pc at 12 as RB advsed, it still going and have closed all programmes, checked its working, it says its in progress.
sitting here trying to plait my very long hair should i have to climb down the tower where im being held!

psst! im terrified oh heights, HEYULP HEYULP.!

We must save thou foxy Shimms
There is ye fearsome dragon in East Tower. Go in thou fearless Doremouse & draw him out & ye brave knights will smote him.

Well, I would but I erm (shuffles feet while thinking quickly) I'm not up to date with my anti-Dragon fire insurance...................

Shimms says:

it says zero files defragmented, can i close it now?

Fear not, brave Dormouse. You'll have 3 gallant knights right behind ye
:o))

This must be some new definition of gallant.......................

Alko, it doesn't sound like it's done anything then.

shimms needs to know can she turn it off without damaging her pooter?

Shimms, I have consulted the great and fearless Lord Google and he says thus:

Before defragging your machine, close all open Windows programs.
Step 1:
Start/Programs/Accessories/System Tools/ScanDisk
Follow this shorthand until you open ScanDisk. If you have not done a ScanDisk in awhile, I would suggest clicking on Thorough. If you have a weekly schedule for maintenance, then just the Standard will be sufficient. Select the hard drive you wish to scan and click on start. After this process is finished, go to the next step.

Step 2:
Start/Programs/Accessories/System Tools/Disk Defragmenter
Follow the shorthand steps until you open Disk Defragmenter.

Select the drive to defrag and click ok and it will defrag your hard drive.


If I were you, I'd switch it off and start the whole thing over again.

Edit: It does say that it can take a few hours if you haven't de-fragged recently.

Never fear thou hast ye cunning plan.

Dormouse lure the dragon aside,

*Calls out to Shimms* Tis clear, close the one called Norton....tie hair to window & climb down.....we'll catch ye if ye were to fall.

Here, Dragon, nice Dragon.......... pretty damsons, sorry that's damsels, this way........................

Ah ye found dragons weakness, tis fruit

Verily, it doth appear to be doing the trick............... Has fearless Sir Norton come to our fair Shimmer's rescue?

Shimms, Just throw a "Defragment Grenade" at it,that should sort it out. **M**.

Catch brave Dormouse........tis water melons, feed these to yonder dragon, t'will quench his fire.

I do hope Sir Norton is defeating De'Frag. As these 3 knights are usless!!
:o))
