originaleq Posted October 14, 2012 Share Posted October 14, 2012 Pretty weird but latest version, as of 3 days ago, caused my laptop to freeze @ start of boottime defrag. Cant get into windows 7 x64 anymore and windows 7 startup repair cant fix this. Used defraggler for years, never had this problem. Current laptop is new, no malware etc, and no hard disk issues Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Super Fast Posted October 14, 2012 Share Posted October 14, 2012 F8 on boot, select safe mode with no networking, CCleaner/Tools/Startup, & disable Startup/IE/Scheduled Tasks you do not need. Including Defraggler. Reboot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VonGoober Posted November 8, 2012 Share Posted November 8, 2012 I'm having this same issue, when boot time defrag is started it just sits at: Piriform Defraggler ---------------------------------------------- Initialized Volume C: Starting Defragmentation --------------------------------------------- c:\pagefile.sys When I try to boot in safe mode, it hangs up and doesn't let me get into Windows 7. Any other suggestions to try to disable the scheduled task of running the boot time defrag once? Thanks in advance! Update: I just left it at the "c:\pagefile.sys" defrag for several hours and it finally moved on and booted successfully. I've never had it take more than a few seconds to do boot time defrag, so this was very perplexing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Nergal Posted November 8, 2012 Moderators Share Posted November 8, 2012 Sounds like you need to empty your page files http://support.microsoft.com/kb/314834 (I'd say set it back to zero after done, unless you'd like that emptying to continue) 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.

Moderators mta Posted November 9, 2012 Moderators Share Posted November 9, 2012 or if you are unhappy about you or something else adjusting the registry, i've always emptied/defrag'd the pagefile by; Control Panel, System, System Protection, Advanced tab, Performance, Settings button, Advanced tab, Change, Select 'no pageing file', Set, OK Reboot, once restarted, go back into Control Panel and turn it back on. Backup now & backup often.It's your digital life - protect it with a backup.Three things are certain; Birth, Death and loss of data. You control the last.

Moderators Nergal Posted November 9, 2012 Moderators Share Posted November 9, 2012 Thanks MTA I searched and search for a non-registry/non-Fix-It-For-Me way to do it but couldn't find one ADVICE FOR USING CCleaner'S REGISTRY INTEGRITY SECTION DON'T JUST CLEAN EVERYTHING THAT'S CHECKED OFF.
