I love Defraggler!!
Kudos to the developers/inventors!!

Is there a Defraggler or similar s/w (besides the Win Defragmenter) for Windows 98?
(I tried to download Defraggler but it would not Download - I assume Win 98 is NOT supported ??)

Thank you.

Just after the last Ice Age receded and I was using WinME that I upgraded from Win98SE I found that the WinME defrag would work on Win98SE much better: :lol:

All hail Yokenny, survivor of cruel amounts of pain and discomfort, survivor of the torture that is WinME. D:

The WinMe defrag update definately helps Win98.

Some people hold onto it I imagine for older applications that just might not run right in WinXP and above even in compatibility mode. For instance some old games that can't even begin to use new DirectX versions, graphic cards they were never designed to utilize, etc., or an old PC that just hasn't stopped working yet.
Complexity of incoherent design.
