Hey Everybody, I'm new to this forum. After defragmenting with Defraggler I only emailed a friend. Then Defraggler tells me I have 1.5 gigs that needs defragmenting.???? Am I not useing the program correctly. Please help! Thanks
Just because you've defragged your drive doesn't mean a file won't fragment later, what is more important is the number of fragments not the file size.
If your file in question was contiguous but after it there was no room to expand i.e. another file exists after it then Windows would have to write the additional data elsewhere causing fragmentation.
Whether you defrag this file again is your choice however personally I would be happy to leave files over 1GB with up to 4 fragments.

After you defragged did Defraggler report 0% fragmentation? That seems like a lot of fragmentation to acquire after just one email.
A System Restore Point, maybe ? (a file in C:\System Volume Information\ with a random name)
