Vista - Pls answer huge problem

I use wopti ultilities. It's a great program and i got a better performance of my computer but...i used the built in defrag utility and this is what happend:
On my C: partition that is about 54 GB i had 24 GB free. When i used defrag, suddenly have 300MB free and when i analized it was hugely fragmented, and i get the messege of low disk space. I used windows defrag and some other third party defrag but non help. Pls i need help how to fix the problem. Restore donn't work because it says i have low disk space!!
So to sumraize... i had 24 gb free, now i have 300mb free and a badly fragmented disk after using wopti build in defrag...non other defrag help. HOW DO I FIX THIS?!?!?!

Because wopi build in defrag has difficulty processing Vista's system shadow storage this happens do this:

you can lower unnecessary large system shadow storage by:

Clicking start >> Accessories >>right click on command >>select run as administrator >> copy and paste this syntax:

C:\Windows\system32\vssadmin resize shadowstorage /On=C: /For=C: /Maxsize=2GB

your System Restore shadow storage will now be resized to a maximum of 2GB you should see an immediate influx of available space

Check if when Vista resizes the restore size it refragments your drive

I had 300mb free now i have 6,79GB but that is still far away from 24GB i had...and the disk is still VERY HIGH fragmented, and still defrag program cant defrag. My disk wasn't so fragmented at all, i always use regulary tuneup defrag 2008 but now it cant finish the job, something is still a problem. HELP!

Since apparently wopti utilities has only a single version, which according
to their blurb requires only win98 or any other version of win. Then IMO its
not worth installing on either a winnt based system or a Vista system since
both are completely different to win9*, not only in the GUI but how win was
actually coded.
How can anyone expect a utility that runs in win9* to run correctly on a
completely different version of win?
If they produce a version the runs only on Vista then by all means try it,
untill then steer clear.

I've learned that whatever hits the fan will not be evenly distributed.

Well my hard disk wasn't at all fagmented, the reson why it showed so many fragments was because of a file that wopti maked. Wopti when run by an administrator still can't make a backup of the registry. When i tryed to do that it lasted so long i ended it in task manger. But by doing that wopti made a file that was 19,8GB BIG. When i deleted it my hard disk wasnt fragmented and now i have my 24GB back. So don't use backup regestry of wopti use manual, and don't use wopti defrag it messes up the shadow storage. But still i have to repeat. Wopti is the only utility that made my computer run faster. It has great cleaners (better than any i tryed), optimizers (realy speed up) but it has these 2 problems so don't mess with that.

Wopti.....don't use it

I think people should use wopti, it full of information and harmless cleaners. U can opitmize everything with ease, and it has that logo (cerified for Windows VIsta)
Maybe the defrag wasn't the problem, it was me actualy that ended the wopti and task manager in the middle of work witch led to huge 19GB file. And last but not least, Wopti is Microsoft Partner. Use it...

On checking the appropriate MS 'certified for Vista site' wopti is not
listed
Niether are they listed, in the US, as a Microsoft Certified Partner

If you click on 'certified for vista' logo on the wopti site it simply links
to a list of shareware awards, as does the Certified Partner

Since some of the wopti utilities, do not work, by your own admission in
Vista, the obvious conclusion is that is not Vista compatible & the
'certified logo' would thus appear to be a scam on behalf of wopti. Like
most of these utilities they are 'snake oil' and should'nt be unleashed on
any nt based o/s or Vista
