I tried to defrag my computer and I get a message error inconsistences and I need to run scandisk. When I go to my computer go to my drive it can't complete the disk check and it says that I don't have a defrag tool installed.I also went to system restore and as soon as I push the button I get a report error message.

I have had similar problems with defrag before. It worked after I turned my screen saver off... also make sure your computer wont go into hibernate or suspend mode in the power settings

have you tried defraging in safe mode?

Yes I tried to defrag in safe mode same thing but you may hit on something with the screen saver. I tried to install msi 3d desktop (it came with my video card ) but it never would install.Then I couldn't get it off the computer evertime I try to delete it there is a error message. Probably because it didn't fully install and I can't get rid of the components that did install.

What is the error message?

Have you tried to uninstall manually? Also perhaps run the Windows Installer CleanUp Utility:

Uninstall Programs Manually

Just because Windows XP has the Add/Remove Programs feature it doesn't mean your application will appear in the list. Furthermore, even if it does appear, it's no guarantee that the uninstall feature will work. When you run across one of these situations the items listed below will help in getting rid of the application. Be aware that these steps may not remove everything associated with the application and can impact other applications on the computer. Have a backup or restore point and use caution.

*

Find the directory for the application and delete all the files in the directory. Delete the directory.
*

Open regedit and navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE and find the folder for the application. Delete the folder.
*

Open regedit and navigate to HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE and find the folder for the application. Delete the folder.
*

To remove the application entry from Add/Remove Programs (if present) open regedit and navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\Curr entVersion\Uninstall and find the folder for the application. Delete the folder.
*

Some applications have Services attached to them. If this is the case, navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Servic es, locate and delete the service.
*

In Windows Explorer, navigate to the individual user settings and delete program references. Common places to check would be:

C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Start Menu\Programs and delete relevant entries.
C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Start Menu\Programs\Startup and delete relevant entries.
C:\Documents and Settings\%YourUserID%\Start Menu\Programs and delete relevant entries.
[Do this for each User ID listed]
C:\Documents and Settings\%YourUserID%\Start Menu\Programs\Startup and delete relevant entries.
[Do this for each User ID listed]

If no entries were found in the previous step and the application launches automatically, navigate to
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Windows
and delete the entry.

Thanks that worked I found it in the first place I looked but not in the rest. I deleted the files and folders then turned the computer off. When I powered back up I went to defrag it started reluctantly to defrag. I then went to search and this time it came up I deleted all the folders and files. It then started to defrg normally. Thanks for your help steele109

Glad it worked & thanks for the thanks!
