Defrag not working

[JoeBonner]

I try to defrag my PC but it keeps starting over and over saying "contents have changed". I tried to cancel all running software except for the bare minimum.  What else can I do?

Here's the Hijack This results:

Try running Scandisk first.. u may have some errors on ur drive.

[guestolo]

I agree with Edward

Better yet
I like to do the following
Right click an empty spot on the desktop and then select Properties
Under the Screen Saver tab, disable any screen saver Set to NONE
Under the power options tab set to Always ON

RESTART into safe mode

In safe mode first run Scandisk>>Standard should do>>Check Automatically fix errors

When that's done run Disk Defragmenter
