    Hi,
    I'm using O&O Defrag v 10 on Windows Vista Business 32bit PL.
    After offline defragmentation I had got strange errors and same mistakes in OS.

    Now I have fresh system (reinstall) and I'm thinking about using offline defragmentation. Is it safe? Dose Defrag 10 destroyed my OS? Is it possible? Are You using Offline defragmentation(complite/access)?
    Do you have any errors?

    Please help me :) I like defragmentation boot becouse I can defrag locked files.

    . u r paying for this?
    . i would just settle with the auslogic free version
    . i do not know much about defragmentation at boot (other than the windows tweak), but with vista, just leave it to handle the bootup prefetching for u - and (personally) use auslogic or jkdefrag (both free tools) for defrag right after windows restart

    cheers ...

    All Offline defrag does is move the pagefile and hibernation file using STEALTH defrag mode before they become active. I have Defrag 10 on 5 of my computers, and they all work fine.
