Cueball Posted November 3, 2010 Share Posted November 3, 2010 First off: the New Defraggler runs great but with one problem. Let me say that I like the new interface and the quickness of the product. The problem is in the boot time defragmantation process. I have been using Piriform products for a while now (actual time unknown.) At this point I have CCleaner, Defraggler, and Speccy installed. All have done a wonderful job but I know that bootime defrag can be a tricky endeavor. Here is how things went: I completed a defrag and then set up for a boot time defrag. It asked me if I wanted to restart so I said yes. The computer promply shutdown and restarted. It started to defrag and then stopped giving the error that a hive in the registry could not be loaded. It then reset and restarted. No damage to the system. The other day, I did a sfc/scannow with no problems found. I keep the registry clean.

Moderators Nergal Posted November 4, 2010 Moderators Share Posted November 4, 2010 I wonder if this is the same thing as this http://forum.piriform.com/index.php?showtopic=30237&st=0&p=180682&hl=boot&fromsearch=1entry180682 please note that Defrag 2.0 is in very early beta esp. the boot-time section ADVICE FOR USING CCleaner'S REGISTRY INTEGRITY SECTION DON'T JUST CLEAN EVERYTHING THAT'S CHECKED OFF. Do your Registry Cleaning in small bits (at the very least Check-mark by Check-mark) ALWAYS BACKUP THE ENTRY, YOU NEVER KNOW WHAT YOU'LL BREAK IF YOU DON'T.

Tom.B Posted November 4, 2010 Share Posted November 4, 2010 Hi, I just attempted to use the boot-time function in Defraggler and it appeared to finish rather quickly. When I got back into Windows I found that the pagefile was still in 2 fragments which leads me to believe that it didn't actually defrag anything in boot up. I'm using Win7 32-bit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest MrRon Posted November 5, 2010 Share Posted November 5, 2010 There will be a fix for the boot-time registry hive issue in the next release of Defraggler Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joepeto Posted November 11, 2010 Share Posted November 11, 2010 Hi, I run Win7 64-bit and I tried to do a boot time defrag. Except nothing happened. It asked me to reboot now, which I did, then it rebooted as usual, without ever defragmenting, and in a minute, I was on the desktop again. It looks like the defrag never started during boot.

redcandle Posted November 14, 2010 Share Posted November 14, 2010 I would also like to add that I'm using win7 64-bit and boot time defrag also didn't seem to do anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
