I click onto Defrag and I get the box up with Continue or Cancel, I click continue and it is asthough i have clicked cancel as it just goes off

Anyone know what do with it  other than smashin it up

Wouldn't install anything Symantec have buggered up, Norton included, on anyone's machine, let alone my own!

I think TB means it works in the background. You're luck to have such 21st C stealth technology. Watching all the bits move about has got to be well sad. (But strangely compelling).

is defrag.exe a running process?

I click onto the defrag icon, i then get a box come up that says "windows needs your permisson to continue" i then have two smaller boxes one says "Continue" the other "Cancel"
I click onto continue and it just goes away asthough I have clicked cancel :-?

....Check task manager.

You could try 'right-click' on Disk Defragmenter and select 'Run as administrator'.....that might get `round it being a 'permissions issue'.

Anti-virus programs can effect registry changes when installed that can have undesired effects.....`any changes made recently?

Finally, a recent Windows update might`ve caused the problem.

I have tried that, i clicked onto Run Administrator, then the same box comes up with Continue and Cancel, as soon as I click onto Continue it goes.... just as if i had clicked on cancel :-?
