Defraggler hangs with new versions

[rpgman81]

I've been a Defraggler user since last year, but only recently I've noticed the following. Whenever I install a new version of the program, starting with 1.06+ , Defraggler hangs up. I can analyse my hard drive and navigate a little through the menus, but then it irremediably hangs up, and I have to terminate the program with Ctrl+Alt+Del.

 

It only happens with versions 1.06+ . I'm stuck with version 1.05 because of this, which doesn't crash at all. I have a P4 2.8 Ghz and I'm using XP Pro.

 

What a weird bug... Any ideas?

I had a similar problem with 1.07 when I first tried it. it seemed to be unstable when there is a very large number of fragmented files. I had several thousand. I tried defragging a few at a time until I got the list down to a more manageable size. That took care of the "hang up" problem for me. If that is the problem, it's something that Piriform needs to work on.

Hmm that could be the problem, actually I have a looot of file fragments in my messy 250 GB hard disk (+300.000). Still, v1.05 doesn't hang up with these many. I've just tried v1.08 and it's the same. Hey Pirifom, what happened with the handling of fragments in the new versions
