  1. - The main problem here is that Piriform hasn't released a new and improved version of Defraggler for a while. I use the word "improved" because there still a number of bugs in the program code that need to be fixed.

     

    (Perhaps this post is able to persuade the developers to improve the program code in the near future ??)

  2. - Didn't install it yet. Although I have downloaded the Stand-Alone version for Windows 7 and the appropriate language package.

    - Whenever possible I always download the individual update installation files. It allows me to install Win 7 without going out on the internet (think: viruses and other malware).

  3. - To be frank I rarely do a full defrag of my HD. I only defragment the fragmented files.

    - Sometimes a drive starts to fail after only a few months. A number of SMART values are at worrying highs.

    - A more convenient way to show the SMART info is the following: Run Piriform's SPECCY. Then select (File >> Publish Snapshot) and post the link that pops up in your next reply. That snapshot also will show the SMART values of your HD.

  4. - It means that the HD could be in the 1st stages of failing. Run the progrma again, open the "Health" tab. Does any of the lines show up in a pink or red color ? Post a screenshot then we can see what's wrong with the "health" of the HD.

  5. - Found another small bug in DF. The user is able to click on a place on the drivemap. If there're files placed in that particular spot then DF will list those files that are located there. But then the file list fails to give an indication on how the list is sorted. There's no Arrow head displayed in one of the headers of the file list. In this one particular case the program code forgets to make the arrowhead show up.

     

    See also the picture in the weblink:

    Only when I sort that list (for the 1st time) an Arrow head will show up. Every time after that I sort the file list then that Arrow head keeps showing up (as it should).

  6. - Came across another odd thing. Sometimes the DF drivemap fails to correctly show which spots on a drive are and aren't occupied by files.

     

    See the picture (weblink) for an example.

    - The DF drivemap thinks that the yellow blocks contain files but when I click on of the yellow blocks, DF reports "No files found".

    - DF also makes another error. When I click on the black blocks then DF reports that one or more files are stored in that particular block. But the DF drivemap tells another story, the drive map says that these blocks don't contain any files at all. These blocks then show up in white.

     

    (In the picture I only changed the color of a few blocks - eleven in total - in the picture to black & yellow).

  7. - Based on my limited (!!!!) knowledge, I could make a case that  the WMI database is corrupted and needs to be rebuild. There're programs that can do that (e.g. Tweaking's Windows Repair, repair #5 in that program can do that job).
