Hi ambmy9...

Failing to accomplish Murray's suggestion (Sorry Murray...I don't remember there being a Tools tab on the My Computer properties window in Win98), Click Start then Run and type defrag.exe and click "Ok". Disk Defragmenter is a little slow to open at times, so be patient...once open, follow the prompts as ususal.

Keep your Win98 cd handy and go to Start>Run.. Type in SFC and press "okay"..
Let SFC search for missing or corrupted files.. Do NOT worry about the "user" file.. it will be different and it should be..

i bought this computer froma yard sell it didn't come with a 98 cd..... i was going to upgrade to me as soon as i can save some stuff off my com. will that give me a defrag program

[Murray S.]

Upgrading probably would, but I missed a step in my first post..

Double click your "My Computer" icon.. Now, when the new window opens, right-click on the c: drive icon and select "properties".. Now, click on the Tools Tab and select Defrag.. should be the last option..

Hi ambmy9
You could download a third party tool.

Hi ambmy,
You could download the trial version of Diskeeper (a neat utility).
Also came across this on the net which some claim is a good defrag freeware
