Then, awhile (hours, minutes; doesn't matter) later when I click 'Analyze', I see this:

Repeating the whole process I get very similar results. I never saw anything like this before. After closing the defragmenter window and getting back into it, when I click Analyze, it's like the HDD wasn't defragmented at all! Other than this, everything is running fine. Any help? Thanks Sally
- If you use system restore, (and if you don't think you will need it right away) turn it off.Start--Right click "My Computer", click "properties"--- click system restore (tab)
Check "Turn off system restore" (on all drives).Defrag. Then turn system restore back on.This has worked for me in the past.If that doesn't work, then it must be your page files that are fragmented.That would require a different method. msil217, I think you might be on to something with this pagefile thing. I did recently change my pagefile size to "system managed size". I found PageDefrag from Sysinternals.com but I'd rather not use a "third party" utility if there's a way I could do it myself. Guess I've got some more reading to do. You gave me a direction in which to look, anyway. Thanks, Sally
OPPS! Looks like a "third party" utility is a necessity! Maybe Diskeeper?
