Hey guys,I recently got O&O Defrag off my mate,and it's O&O Defrag Version 10 Professional,I'm using windows vista and I'm just wondering,what way is the best method for FS9 to defrag.

When I start O&O Defrag I get a message saying:

"You can enable the defragmentation to take place automatically.The wizard takes care of optimal parameters-you do not have to do anything by hand."

Should I select that?,If so I then get these options:

-Change Automatic Defragmentation
-Deactivate Automatic Defragmentation
-Defrag Drive manually now

Also If I should enable Auto Defragmention,by clicking Change Automatic Defragmentation,I have a choice of:

Work Computer
Home Computer
Gaming Computer

I have no Internet or anything on my FS9 system just FS9,so would'nt gaming be the best option or not?

Also when I click on any of the 3 choices above,it says O&O Defrag will work independently in the background is that the best option?

Also last question,What Defrag method is the best

STEALTH,SPACE,COMPLETE/NAME,COMPLETE MODIFIED or COMPLETE/Access.?

If anyone could answer those questions and give me some insight as the correct way to use O&O Defrag for FS9 is, it would be really be appreciated,I hope you understand all the babble of my post,hehe.

Hope to see a reply.

Cheers

1. Make sure your computer is clean and everything you want is on it.

2. Turn off automatic defragmentation.

3. http://www.simviation.com/cgi-bin/yabb2/YaBB.pl?num=1163028653/0#5

Only do the defrag actions listed, not the Windows tweaks, because they may not work with Vista. And don't try O&O 8.5, it's XP only.

4. After doing the Complete /Name defrag do not do another space defrag unless you want to undo everything.
