Is the Superfetch service enabled?

It WAS disabled but I re-enabled it when I looked into this thread 1st time when I had the crash with mydefrag. I'm not sure if it's that beneficial feature on a games box with lots of memory, I just tested if turning it off made any difference either way, which it doesn't seem to.

Interestingly superfetch service was in fact not started althought it was set to "automatic". Possibly something to do with this problem. Started okay when manually run, thought.

Edit: Oh, all right. Now that I force-started superfetch, it populated the prefetch folder.

2. Most likely cause is that the task sheduler service is disabled. Please enable it and try following command with administrative rights:

No it isn't.

rundll32 advapi32,ProcessIdleTasks

This works for XP only apparently.

3. If you use Vista or Windows 7, you have to do 5 reboots. It will create a boot trace. If not, please skip this step

No it doesn't.

4. Now MyDefrag won't crash anymore and it will use the created layout.ini file and the program hints to lay out the files for faster startup of Windows and Applications.

So far so good except in W7 x64 the prefetch stays stubbornly empty after wasting an hour on reboots. There's probably some event that will repopulate it eventually. Just apparently not one of those "idle events". Once a week defrag at least will not run if you are looking ie computer is not idle.
