is this that much better then the vista defrag?
the xp defrag wasn't nearly as good as perfect but I'm told the vista is better I sure wish there was a progress graph and a graph showing free space areas in the native utility though |

It's worth defragging hard disks, the peformance gain is substantial.

Do you have to purchase the support and upgrade protection to get the update?

You shouldn't be surprised, I learned a long time ago, someone told me, either here or family or who ever, that they are pointless and stupid.
I guess it must of be someone important because I never touched a defrag program since. Now I learn

Its the first time I have purchased from them I was wondering if I had to buy the protection thing for the upgrade, but zombie said it was free so I am assuming not.

I just let it run, and now I can't right click on icons and drag them. Or even just drag them. You know when you try to move a file to another place. Yea does not happen now?
What's the deal? *edit, I used TweakUI to repair all icons, and now everything works. Why did that happen? |

Are you sure, I don't think I did anything else. I will see what happens the next time I use it.
Thanks. |
