My daughter delivered her laptop to me (Dell Inspiron 1300) and asked if I could fix her defrag.

Well, I can't...

Defrag, when launched, shows up but does not display either "Estimated useage..." data. Both panels remain blank.

In Task Manager Defrag is shown as 'Running'.

Has anyone had this problem and knows how to fix it?

Sometimes if the HDD is chock-full, the defrag utility becomes overloaded and cannot display any GUI until some space has been freed up.

I had the reply window open. Honest.
It's good to see that we both went the same direction.
