try https://www.ccleaner.com to do the cleaning up.

I've done that and it makes no difference.

What about trying a different defrag tool?

This one was recommended the other day:

most of the files listed at the bottom are either in your temp area, or norton recycle bin, unless they are in use by a process, then emptying your recycle bin, and running ccleaner to delete temp files should get rid of them.

Do you actually get an error message saying that it has been aborted at 26%?

another defrag question... i usually put my computer on defrag when i am going shopping for just over an hour... but i havent done it in ages not enough shopping :rotfl: i want to know if i put it on tonight before i go to bed (about 10.30pm) will the computer shut itself down after its finished it (as i usually does if you dont use it for a set period)? only i dont want the computer running all night... thanks

no, it might go into standby though.

If you have XP, you can defrag while you use it.

Something similar to that ... it just stops at 26% and says that it cannot defrag any further

No probs ... it was a good question. I also didn't know you could defrag while using the internet.

Thanks for asking it!:cool:

This is what it says when it reaches about 26% and stops:

Any ideas please?

I've also emptied out Norton Protect again and have done a defrag since and this is what came up!
