Please go through the following post to learn how you can repair the defragmenter utility on your system.

If you are unable to fix it, then you may consider installing a third party defragmentation application/program. These third-party programs are considered to be more reliable and robust. Visit the following link to find the list of the best available defrag programs.

You will note that the best application on the list is also the only application which averts fragmentation. This is desirable because it improves system performance and enhances the EoF(End of Life) of your hard disk.
