Yinepuhotep Posted May 24, 2012 Share Posted May 24, 2012 I have Defraggler set to do a weekly defrag, and according to the system logs, it pops up on schedule every week, like clockwork, no problem. However, when it does, I begin getting a message popup that tells me that dff64.exe is not compatible with my version of Windows, and a command shell window displaying every message that dff64sends in the process of doing the defrag. Every single 1% change in fragmentation, every file opening or error, EVERYTHING. Is there something wrong I should know about, or a way to configure Defraggler so that I'm not forced to deal with this problem every time it launches the weekly defrag? I wouldn't complain so much, except that according to Cacheman, dff64 is eating over 60% of my system resources when it's doing this. I can easily believe it, because the lag on my system when it's running is so bad that I can't even open Notepad without risk of it timing out. At the same time, using Defraggler normally doesn't give me ANY of this trouble. So the graphical application works like a dream, and I would NEVER run a Windows system without it, but the command line version eats my system resources and gives me constant error/incompatibility messages. Any suggestions for how to track down what's causing this problem and/or how to fix it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nodles Posted May 24, 2012 Share Posted May 24, 2012 Which Defraggler version? Have you installed Win7 SP1? Have you tried to reinstall Defraggler or tried the portable version? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
