alot of the clips for my video got corrupted when I defragged using diskkeeper (I had to re-export them), and the last time I used it, after the clips were off, a lot of my maps got corrupted.

does anyone know why this happens? can anyone suggest a good defragger that doesn't corrupt files?

The one built into windows is nothing but a scaled down Microsoft licensed version of Disk Keeper. If o-dog is having issues with Disk Keeper there is a good chance he would have issue with what is built into Windows. Further there are some limitations to the one built into Windows that the free one I linked to above can over come (read the link to find out what those limitations are).

If you wanna get real complete then use the one above in conjunction with this:

which will defrag registry hives and page files (which almost all other defrag utilities can not touch).

The thing that makes me mad about the windows defrag utility is that if you don't have 15% free space on your hard drive it wont do it properly. Diskeeper and some others dont have that issue.

the main problem I have with the Windows Defragger is that the GUI is missing from mine for some reason. the buttons and the menu options are all blank and I cant tell what I'm doing.

plus as Bucky said it's a scaled-down version of Diskkeeper and will probably give me the same problems Diskkeeper is.

I will try one of those others thanks guys.

I think you proably have a more serious problem if stuff is missing.
