    o&o isnt compatible with vista 64bit. i ran into the same situation. Time to find another defrag program, which sucks cause I kinda like O&O. But I just went back to PerfectDisk.

    I actually used perfectdisk before I tried O&O and to be quite honest, it works pretty much exactly like O&O. You can set the kind of defrag you want (ie Stealth, Space, etc although it uses different naming of course), boot time defrag, screen saver, etc. Its all there. Its also remarkably light on resources and seems to be on par speedwise, if not a bit faster. I think you'll be pleased with it.

    The reason it does not install is since you have to download the x64 version from them.

    a really good defrag program with native 64 bit support is puran defrag 5.0 seriously a really fast and tiny application and imo it does the same job as perfect disk. ive ran perfect disk many times after running puran and it always shows the same results as 0% fragmented and even usually has most files in the same order.. works great
