Windows 98 defrag hangup: I've got a laptop that I defragged before once. Took about 6 hours. Last nite I started it and after 3 1/2 hours it was at 1% and 2% completed. Back and forth. Went to bed and 7 hours later it was still at 1-2%. Restarted defrag and after 2 hours still no further. I don't run 'programs'. I only surf the web and trade/follow stocks and financial sites. Computer guru Jim Coates says Norton programs cause more problems than it fixes. What else can I try? Or maybe just forget it as I never saw a difference after the first defrag. I know 'nothing' about this computer stuff. 88
