You really don't need to post your problem in three separate threads.
Oh, I'm sorry if I annoyed you or anything. But, I wasn't trying to "post my problem in three separate threads". I was simply trying to participate in the discussion. I didn't realize you guys had a rule like that- sort of "say it once or don't say it at all".
I'll try to follow your example and be more unfriendly and less "chatty" in the future.
I do find it kinda amusing that you criticize me for "posting my problem in three separate threads" when the only response to my problem that I get is your reprimand. Maybe if I had posted it in 5 or 6 separate threads then I'd have gotten a response, instead of just getting jumped on for asking a question.
The computer I'm using is the only computer I have. I can't afford to replace it... I can't afford to reinstall Windows, which is the pat answer I get from anyone in the tech field that I ask about any computer problem. I mean, if I download an MP3 that sounds muddy, I've actually been told reinstalling Windows will help ![:o]()
I tried that on my old 'puter and I has not worked right since. Reinstalling Windows was the biggest mistake I've ever made as a PC user.
So, after downloading Defraggler, and being very impressed with it's general performance, I decided to come here and comment on that and ask my question. One of my comments has since been deleted. My topic I started hasn't been responded to, and on this thread all I've gotten is snapped at.
I have a feeling, sir, that you are not one of the administrators of this forum. That's really who I'm trying to reach here- or, more specifically, the designers of the Defraggler program. I wanted to compliment them on their work, and their work on all of their software, because I use all three Piriform programs and they perform wonderfully.
I also wanted to ask them about Defraggler, stopping after 21% while defragging the free space. And given my respect for the Piriform designers, maybe get their opinion on why my Microsoft defragmenter isn't working properly.
Imagine my surprise when all I get is a disciplinary wag of the finger from someone with over 2000 posts. Personally, I think you could have been a little more friendly, and maybe even offered some advice or comment aside from personal criticism of someone who only just arrived here.
Oh, and on a side note, the last time I had to sign up for one of these forums to get some technical support on some software I downloaded- Cerulean Studios' Trillian -their forum rules stated that new members had to reply to at least 5 different posts posted by other users before starting a new topic of their own. I had no idea that rule was not in effect here too, considering the format of the forum is in the exact same style. So, I wanted to post at least one or two replies before posting my topic.
Since the subject of my concern was the defragging of free space, I really couldn't find anything else to comment on, ergo my "posting my problem in three different threads".
Again, my apologies. I had no idea this would be something that would offend someone so much that one of my posts would be deleted, one ignored, and one criticized. I still believe Piriform software to be of the highest quality and I applaud the programmers for the work they've put into their products, and for making it available as freeware. But, I have to say that my experience on this forum has been far less satisfying than my use of the software.
