Win98 defrag/Cosmi pop-up killer
1. My Win 98 defrag function, hitherto satisfactory, has begun to hang when only 2% complete. Anyone know the possible cause?
2. Having installed the Cosmi pop-up killer, which cost only GBP10.00, it works fine but when I attempt a search it breaks the ISP connection. A trawl of their web site for updates merely invites me to buy another program for USD45. Did I just buy advertising?
Thanks in advance.

Ages ago on this forum someone advised me to run defrag in 'SAFE' mode in 98 - that sorted it out. I think it may have been due to 'resident' functions calling for disk access during defrag. I'm now on W2000 with no such problems.

defrag
I operate 98 on my main computer and XP on my laptop. The best defragger for W98 is to download the defrag tool for Win ME and use it. If you have a problem and want to know how to do it, PM me and I'll get it for you.
You just download the ME defrag, change the existing defrag to defrag.old and install the Me defrag.
