  1. Maybe this has been suggested before, it does seems likely, but it just came to my mind when looking at the progress of my current defrag. I see there's a "Time Remaining" indicator... I think it would be a nice addition if there was a time count indicator of how long a defrag process took. I'm not a programmer, but it sounds like it wouldn't be too difficult to implement. Basically like a "stopwatch" timing from when the process begins and finishes. It just seems like it would be a handy and neat piece of info to be displayed. Any thoughts?
  2. Hello, I'm having some problems here... First off, I've used CCleaner for years and love the program. After reading many good reviews and recommendations for Defraggler (and since the build-in Windows defgragger has been noted to be less efficient) I wanted to jump on board and use this tool as part of maintaining my laptop. I was trying to read/troubleshoot the issues myself here on the forums, but I can't figure out what's wrong. I use the default settings, since it seems like nothing much needs to be tweaked or changed—atleast from what I have researched. I saw some other topics with people having similar issues and I did these steps: -Under the 'Defrag" Tab; make sure the "move large files to the end of the drive" is unchecked. -Under the 'Advanced" Tab; make sure the "use custom fragmentation settings" is checked. ...and under this option to make sure to exclude both the 'restore file' and 'hibernation file'. I'm not sure what information to include, so I'll list some things. Let me know if I need to add any more information: (Actually I realized that you guys offered another cool program called Speccy, so I downlaoded that so I could list some more info for you guys...) HP Probook 4530s Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit SP1 Intel Core i3 2310M @ 2.10GHz 4.00GB Single-Channel DDR3 RAM 298GB Western Digital WDC WD3200BEKT-60PVMT0 (SATA) HDD I have a fresh Windows 7 install and everything is patched, up-to-date and all of that jazz. I haven't really added a whole lot of programs to the laptop yet. It's ~2 years old or so, but everything works fine, no hardware issues that I'm aware of after running some tests, running CHKDSK for errors, etc. I ran the analyzer. My HDD (C: drive) capacity us ~276GB. I have 54.2GB (20%) used. I have 221.9GB free space (80%). Framgentation is now at 13% after trying to defrag this volume, it went down ~1%or so, but it was taking a REALLY long time and seemed be moving the files REALLY slowly. The program was working and I could see the progress, but it was like a turtle's pace—and taking several seconds for each file before proceeding to the next. I could watch the 'Current State" indicator count down the Fragmented Files and the Total Fragments, but like I said it was soooo slow. Something just doesn't seem right to me. The Remaining Time started off at like ~5 hours and then it just kept getting longer and longer to the point of <1day. I stopped the defragging task after a while since this seems like a very unacceptable timeframe. Something just doesn't seem right and I'm wondering why it's taking so long to defrag? (When other people seem to have reported 'faster' results...but I know that's dependent on HDD size and the percentage of fragmentation). My HDD is rather small and not very fragmented, so again, something doesn't seem right here. I run Kaspersky Internet Security 2014, Malwarebytes Pro, and SuperAntiSpyware (but this one isn't real-time, I use it as secondary scanner and I have to manually open it, update it, and run scans). I don't want to disable my AV program(s) to defrag (as was suggested somewhere else when I was reading the forums), leaving my system unprotected. That's pretty ridiculous to me and doesn't seem like a proper solution. It seems like both Kaspersky and Malewarebytes are pretty mainstream and used by a lot of people so I would think that there shouldn't be any software conflicts...but correct me if I'm wrong. I also don't really want to defrag in Safe Mode as a "Fix" (another suggestion I read) because that just doesn't seem like a proper solution to me. I want to use the program normally, like how it was designed to be used. I'd also like to use the program's "Schedule" option so I can defrag every month or so to keep things pretty tidy...which having to boot into Safe Mode all the time seems like it would defeat the purpose here... Anyways, it's starting to feel like I'm writing a novel so I'll stop here. Haha! I'd love to get these issues sorted out so that I can properly use Defraggler, and be a happy supporter of another Piriform product that many other people have grown to love! Any help would be appreciated and let me know if I need to inculde any more info. Thanks!
