    Hi, First of all the #1 reason for a Operating Sysstem is not enough memory

    add some if here is a list of how much you should have for systems

    Windows 3.x= 16 MB

    Windows 95-98= 36 MB

    Windows Me-2000= 64-100MB

    Windows Xp-Vista= 300MB-1GB

    oh and whats wrong with defrag,enting? defragmenting just arranges the files so they are easier to fingd no deleting i would say disc CHECK would be more dangerous! lol
