I'm assuming you're talking about xp's defragger not working. I too have been looking for something that works better. The xp defragger defrags things but it doesn't consolidate files to the begining of the drive like other defraggers do (or the ones I used to work with). What I found in my search were 2 apps that looked pretty good,but alas they weren't open source (my first pick also). O&O Defrag and DiskKeeper were the 2 that looked the best. Here's a couple of links:

As to your question regarding setting a default dvd player see this ms article:
