Yes, go ahead and defrag. -----Original Message----- From: blind-computing-boun...@jaws-users.com [mailto:blind-computing-boun...@jaws-users.com] On Behalf Of Josh Sent: Monday, December 13, 2010 4:08 PM To: blind-computing@jaws-users.com Subject: Re: [Blind-Computing] Problems With Programs Not Respondingand Shutting Down
Thank you, I have tried the windows task manager to shut down the program, but it will not shut down the program either. I probably do need to do a disk defrag but everytime I go to do one I always analyze before running the defragmenter and it says I do not need to defragment this volume. So, even getting the message saying I do not need to defrag this volume I should go ahead and defrag anyways. Is that correct? ----- Original Message ----- From: "Gerald Levy" <bwaylimi...@verizon.net> To: <blind-computing@jaws-users.com> Sent: Monday, December 13, 2010 4:57 PM Subject: Re: [Blind-Computing] Problems With Programs Not Respondingand Shutting Down > > If you are having trouble shutting down programs, you should perform > some basic system maintenance like deleting old files and unused > programs, and defragging your hard drive.
