How To Fix Windows Built in Defragmenter
http://www.andreasroom.com/blog/arch...18/defrag.aspx
This fix worked for me. dfrgntfs.exe was crashing. Both from defrag.exe in
a command prompt and dfrg.msc.
Start | Run Type: regsvr32 dfrgui.dll | Click OK
Start | Run Type: regsvr32 dfrgsnap.dll | Click OK
Navigate to...
%windir%\inf\ | Right click dfrg.inf | Select Install

Hope this helps. Let us know.

More Information:
With this service turned Off, the Analyse and Defrag buttons do nothing. And
the console Defrag.exe tool displays this error:
Windows cannot connect to the Disk Defragmenter engine
To enable Defragmenter's functionality, try this:
Click Start, Run and type Services.msc. Double-click "DCOM Server Process
Launcher" service and set it to Automatic. Restart Windows.

Hi Ramesh,
DCOM Server Process Launcher is added with SP2. Looks like DcomLaunch not
running causes all kinds of problems.
Add one more to Snakefoot's list:
The Windows Firewall service in Windows XP Service Pack 2, in Windows XP
Professional x64 Edition, in Windows Server 2003 SP1, and in x64-based
versions of Windows Server 2003 cannot start if the DCOM Process Launcher
Service is disabled
http://support.microsoft.com/default...b;en-us;892504
I do not have SP2 and have all the DCOM and Com+ crap disabled.
COM+ Event System service Disabled
COM+ System Application service Disabled
System Event Notification service Disabled
How to disable DCOM support in Windows
http://support.microsoft.com/default...b;en-us;825750
DCOM Windows XP Do You Need It?
[[Virtually no-one needs it, wants it or uses it! ]]
http://www.updatexp.com/dcom-windows-xp.html
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\OLE
Change the EnableDCOM string value to N.
Might be bad advice if someone has SP2.

Thanks Wes. I came across this article Q892504 when I was exploring for
information regarding DCOM, 2 days ago.
>> Might be bad advice if someone has SP2.
You're correct. Stopping this service in SP2 breaks several things.
