When defragmenting a Vista computer, you can directly use the disk defragmenter that comes within the Vista operating system. But if you have defragmented your Vista computer, you will always encounter some problems as what you can see in the description below. In this article, we will discuss some commonly-met defragment problems on Vista and what should be paid attention to when run a disk defrag on a Vista computer. 

1) Unfriendly user interface.

Unlike XP or other defrag programs, what you get from the Vista defragment interface is only the word: Defragmenting, without a chart showing where the fragments are, and how about the defragment process.

2) No progress bar

When beginning a defragment process in Vista, it is impossible for you to see how the progress has been made, what is the estimated time and remaining time for what you get from its interface is: This will take a few minutes to a few hours. Due to this, lots of PC users decide to stop halfway because of the endless defragment.

3) No report

When running a disk defrag in XP, you will always get a report telling what the rate of the fragments is, and then decide whether to defragment the disk or not. On the contrary, even though Vista provides us a choice to analyze the fragments, there is no report generated after the analysis. What you always get will be a suggestion to defragment your computer or not. This is not humanized. 

So what should you do in order to avoid these problems when defragmenting a Vista computer? It is recommended that you can defragment the computer in safe mode. Hence, without the interference of other running programs, the defragment process will become more smooth and faster. Or in order not to interrupt the proper usage of the computer, if time permits, you can set it to automatically defragment the computer in a mid-night, when the computer is not being used. But in my opinion, this will be more troublesome to finish this defragment process every time. 

So if your Vista computer is always used for school working, official production or other kinds of multi-editing, it is deeply recommended that you can depend on a special designed defrag program to run a disk defrag on vista, making it run faster. And Advanced Defrag will be a better one for you.
