On this one I have about 39% free space- 3GB out of 8GB. After having run the program more than a dozen times I still have 35 fragmented files (1.7GB) in 779 total fragments, 35% fragmentation. This is on an old W2K box running the old version of defrag, ver 1.21, since that seems to be the most recent version capable of running on W2K (as I read on this forum). I have also run defraggler on my laptop, an XP machine with the latest version and seen similar results- the need to run the program multiple times. If i watch the "current state" stats, it seems that only a few files at a time are being defragged. Am I doing something wrong?

I just started using Defraggler. I am wondering why it takes so many runs to defrag completely? For instance, I have been running it all day on this one machine... only 8GB drive, but the defrag process ends every five minutes or so saying "defrag complete"- but it isn't. It seems to do a little each time, but there are always many files still needing defragged, and so I just run it again... and again and again. Is there a way to tell the program to only stop when there are no fragmented files left?
Need to run Defraggler many times?

After looking things over, it seems that many of the files that need defragging are system files such as pagefile.sys and others. I am going to use pagedefrag and see if that helps.
