It seems that my Disk Defragmenter is not working. When I click on a drive & click Analyze or Defragment nothing happens. Even if I right click on the drive it doesn't work. It seems that I might be visiting here somewhat frequently with the way that my computer seems to be behaving. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Boot the PC and keep tapping F8 until you get options, select safe mode, press enter, try defragmenter
