Hi steven,

 

Please read the thread Think about Defragmentation!!! and also go around the Smart Defrag section of the forum.

 

Also it is advisable to read Online Help for IObit Software thread.

 

The repeatative trials will be much less time consumig.

 

Cheers.

Turning off your antivirus scanner will boost defrag times greatly.

Steven- Is this the first time that you have Defragged and Optimized with Smart Defrag? Once your computer has gone through the initial Optimization the process should speed up in subsequent sessions. I have a 2.8 GB system with 2.3 GB free that Smart Defrag usually Optimizes once a day in 2 to 5 minutes, but last night it took a little longer and finished in about 8 minutes.

Hi steven

Well - you have a bit more than 27% free space, that should be ok Then there is the question of how fragmented the disk was? You did not leave information about the Analyze result.

In addition there can be very large picture or video files that sometimes holds up the process - and peastoyou advice is also very good - mentioned in the program setup by IObit too.

Reading the threads mentioned by enoskype is good advice.

Cheers
