ME Defrag

That means something is running in the background that forces the defrag to start over. It could be as simple as your screensaver. Turn off your screensaver for starters but if that doesn't work, the best thing to do is boot into safemode (keep pressing F8 during bootup) and run defrag from there. It won't start over in safemode.

I had the same issues with ME shortly after I had a new PC built. Infact I had the same issue with Disk Cleanup. What I eventually did was let it run. Took almost a day and it finally completed. From there on out I defragged several times weekly to avoid further issues. Then I upgraded to a better OS. Best bet? Rid yourself of the pains of ME.
