Disk Defrag has stopped

by hal2000 . Updated 20 years, 2 months ago

I have an unusual situation that recently cropped up. Windows Disk Defragment has stopped working!!!???
When I select either analyse or defragment in disk defrag the button stays depressed for approximately 10 seconds and then reverts to normal but absolutely nothing happens. No entry in Event viewer. BTW, Disk defragment has been working perfectly for about 2 years. The hard drive has about 30 gig of data on a Win2k3 sp1 machine. Most of the files are quite samll. I have enabled/disabled indexing services without any difference in operation so I don’t believe it to be related to the large number of small files.
All applicable services are running from what I can see. I have attempted many things without success.
Any help would be appreciated.
