Whevnever I try to run Disk Defragmenter, I get an error message. A pop-up notification shows up. In the title it says "Microsoft Management Console." The actual message looks like this:

Name:<unknown>
CLSID:{43668E21-2636-1101-AICE-0080C88593A5}
After I click on "OK," Disk Defragmenter opens up and in the window the only that to be seen is a message that says "Snap-in Creation Failed."

If anyone knows how I can solve this problem please let me know.

right click on My Computer, choose Properties, choose Advanced, choose environments variables and under "System Variables" what do you see?

Alright, here is a list of what I saw.

Variables:

Com Spec
FP_NO_HOST_CHECK
NUMBER_OF_PROCESSORS
OS
Path
PATHTEXT
PROCESSOR_ARCHITECTURE
PROCESSOR_IDENTIFIER
PROCESSOR_LEVEL
PROCESSOR_REVISIORY
TEMP
TMP
windir

If you need to see the value of any of these please ask and thank you very much for you help so far.

I'm sorry, I should have been more specific....

after PATH, do you see:

%SystemRoot%\system32;%SystemRoot%;%SystemRoot%\System32\Wbem;

After PATH, I see: C:\WINDOWS\system32;C:\WINDOWS;C:\WINDOWS\System32\Wbem

Really, yours should work, but try changing it to what mine said (they are the same thing, basically)

I tried it and my Defragmenter still has the same error.
