One of the best free defragmentation programs for WinXP

@all

For those running Firefox but are having long delays when browsing the forum, or, like me on my office cuomputer I was getting a "Warning: Unresponsive Script Error" I just downloaded YesScript and installed it and now no more putzing around with all the scripts that are loaded on each page. Super fast page views now.

Just go in Tools  - Add-ons and click on the Get Extension link. At that web page type YesScript in the search engine and you will find the download. Get it installed, then go into it via Add-Ons again and add the Blacklisted URL for this forum as "http://www.overunity(dot)com" and re-start Firefox and come back to the forum for fast browsing. Enjoy.

I have been running the add-on No Script with no problems here.  How does the program you are using differ from mine?  Do they do basically the same thing?

Thanks,

Thanks Stefan,
Defraggler seems fairly nice.

.....I have been running the add-on No Script with no problems here.....

.....I just downloaded YesScript and installed it and now no more putzing around with all the scripts that are loaded on each page.....

LOL, NoScript/YesScript...

I almost thought you guys were kidding around.

But sure enough they both exist. 

The few reviews I saw seemed to indicate YesScript was favoured.

Both good and sad to know that java script delays effect FireFox too,
but at least there is a solution for that browser as well.

I never used NoScript so I cannot really say. All I can tell you is with this little Add-on, Browsing is super fast now. No more rumbling through endless scripts tha want to do this and that before the page is rendered.

Thanks.  Sounds the same to me then.  This one does not allow any scripts to load and my pages load very fast.

From what I understand, Windows uses a random number generator to determine where it stores data fragments.

Anyway, you could try defragging your computer while there is a large ISO file, or some other large chunk of arbitrary data.  Then delete the data, or copy it and then delete it.  This create a large area of continuous space which new files can be placed in without fragmenting.

Just as well, it may be easier to use the XP partition tools to create a new, small partition on the hard drive specifically for and ONLY for the swap file.

Linux does this as it is, so that the swap file doesn't become fragmented as well.

This was a problem back in 95, 2000, ME, NT ..etc.  I started doing this myself to avoid such problems, but alas, it's hard to keep it in shape - I just switched to linux and use the journaled file system - it doesn't have the fragmentation problems that FAT32 or NTFS does.

That's that. ...but so much for gaming ( better this way as it is ).
