this thing has been running for about 4 hours, I have absolutely no progress report to see how much is left to do
is there anyway to see a progress graph?

4 hours is forever. Mine defrags and gives me a report in a much shorter period of time.
I'd wager there is an issue somewhere in your system.
it runs automatically on a schedule by default on my box, it's supposed to run in the morning on wed.I believe the defrag runs automatically:
1. Click Start.
2. Click OK to the UAC if it appears.
3. Click Control Panel.
4. Click OK to the UAC if it appears.
5. Click System and Maintenance.
6. Click OK to the UAC if it appears.
7. Under the Administrative Tools section at the bottom, click Defragment your hard drive.
8. Click OK to the UAC if it appears.
9. Click or unclick Run automatically (recommended) depending if you want this feature enabled or disabled.
10. Click OK to the UAC if it appears.
11. Click OK
12. Click OK to the UAC if it appears.
13. Click OK to the UAC if it appears.
14. Click OK to the UAC if it appears.
et cetera
My notebook took about an hour (64GB SSD) to defragment the first time.
