Keith, As I always say, you guys are great bunch. To
continue encouraging me to fix this defrag issue is a
bit of an example. I remember my daughter buying this WinMe in the wee 90`s. In 94
she gave it to me and a defrag has never been done on it. A quick mind-math tells
me that no matter what I do, time has taken over this PC. It is slow, but dependable
to what I do which is only read websites and post in forums a bit. Other than that,
I have not dumped it because I do not see myself as an addicted computer
nut who spends his days online. Oh don`t get me wrong, I enjoy great moments and
escapes while I
use my computer, but I really do not feel up to putting you and the rest of the guys
here at annoyances through the "annoyance" of defraging this
junk of machine. I really think it will solve nothing as
far as my use of it. When I removed a ton of pictures
from the files, I hastly, and without thinking thought
of the defrag..It was a mistake. I am frustrated and
you make some valid points in guiding me through in
this task. I do not trust system restore, as I have used it previously to fix some
small inconsistencies in
my files, only to find a monster problem, causing me
to abandoning this feature completely. Really Keith,
I will not even attempt to go beyond the 4% complete that my try generated. Again,
thanks a lot.
Make no mistake, I will always search you guys out
whenever I get stumped with an issue..This one does
not merit any emergency attention, as it just old and
tired, ready to fold on me. Thanks Keith.
