Help Defrag not working

Hi, Since the last windows update I have not been able to get the windows
defrag to work. When I click on the shortcut from start menu or through right
clicking My Computer all I get is the admin confirmation thing pop up I hit
continue and then nothing the defrag program doesnt start or do anything at
all when I hit alt ctrl delete and look at whats running on my computer
nothing shows up in there either so I know its not just hidden somewhere. I
am running vista Ultimate 64. The only other thing I had done before this was
install JV16(2008) which I have uninstalled and restored what it had taken
out but nope still nothing Im going insane trying to figure it out by myself
please help me.

I recommend a freeware defragmenter for Vista. You can download a copy here: Auslogics - Download Auslogics Disk Defrag
