If you look in services (type "services.msc" in search) and look at "Disk Defragmenter" see if "startup type" is set to "Disabled" if it is change to Manual and try again.

* If you copy and paste this text to search: %windir%\system32\dfrgui.exe and click Enter. Is Windows Defrag there?
* Then if Defrag isn't there you can try System File Checker (SFC scan). The System File Checker tool to determine whether the issue that you are experiencing is caused by one or more system files that are used by Windows 7. The System File Checker tool scans system files and replaces incorrect versions of the system files by using the correct versions.
In search type cmd, then type sfc /scannow . When the scan is complete see if Defrag works by copy this text again to search: %windir%\system32\dfrgui.exe .
* Or you can try running the defragmenter in Safe Mode(Then you start your computer press F8 and in Advanced Boot Options Choose "Safe Mode"). If it runs, something is interfering with it and tracking the interference down may not be easy. Note: Some versions of Win 7 disable the ability to run the built in defragger in safe mode. If disabled, it will say so when trying to run it in safe mode.
* If that doesn't work Disk Defragmenter may no longer be on the system or is so corrupted that it needs a re-install. Solution: Re-install the built-in.
There are several methods to re-install the built-in defragger:
A:
a. Open the "Start" menu.
b. Type %Windir%\Inf in the "Search" box and press "Enter".
c. In the window that opens, find the file named "dfrg.inf".
d. Right-click on "dfrg.inf" and "Install."
B:
a. Go to "Start > Run" on your computer.
b. Type rundll32.exe setupapi,InstallHinfSection DefaultInstall 132 %windir%\inf\dfrg.inf and press "Enter"
c. Click "OK" to make the program automatically reinstall itself.
C:
a. Go to Start >All Programs>Accessories>Right Click on Command Prompt> select "Run As Administrator"
b. At command prompt, type regsvr32 dfrgsnap.dll and hit "Enter."
c. Type regsvr32 dfrgui.dll and hit "Enter." This will reinstall any missing defragger files.
The info have I got from this to pages:

Also, see if you can run defrag from a cmd window
Go to start and in the run put in cmd and hit enter.
When it opens just type in defrag.exe and see what happens :wink:

a. Open the "Start" menu.
b. Type %Windir%\Inf in the "Search" box and press "Enter".
c. In the window that opens, find the file named "dfrg.inf".
d. Right-click on "dfrg.inf" and "Install."
after doing it.... its saying, Defragmenter is not installed !! so ...followed your 1st reply to remove this error.
after that...
I couldnot understand
B
b. Type rundll32.exe setupapi,InstallHinfSection DefaultInstall 132 %windir%\inf\dfrg.inf and press "Enter" !!

Ok, but you have the file "dfrg.inf" in %Windir%\Inf?
I dont have the file there so I can't try this, but my defragmenter works anyway!
Instead of Run try "cmd"
B:
a. Go to "Start > type cmd" on your computer.
b. copy and paste this text rundll32.exe setupapi,InstallHinfSection DefaultInstall 132 %windir%\inf\dfrg.inf and press "Enter"
c. Click "OK" to make the program automatically reinstall itself.
Then try C again, see if it goes better?
C:
a. Go to Start >All Programs>Accessories>Right Click on Command Prompt> select "Run As Administrator"
b. At command prompt, type regsvr32 dfrgsnap.dll and hit "Enter."
c. Type regsvr32 dfrgui.dll and hit "Enter." This will reinstall any missing defragger files.

Also I forgot to ask, did you run my windows repair tool yet?

Try to copy and paste this text again to cmd
rundll32.exe setupapi,InstallHinfSection DefaultInstall 132 %windir%\inf\dfrg.inf
Because i saw that you have a lowercase letters of all words.
Try typing exactly as it appears with uppercase and lowercase letters.

Have you tried try running the defragmenter in Safe Mode (Then you start your computer press F8 and in Advanced Boot Options Choose "Safe Mode"). If it runs, something is interfering with it and tracking the interference down may not be easy. Note: Some versions of Win 7 disable the ability to run the built in defragger in safe mode. If disabled, it will say so when trying to run it in safe mode.

Mr. Shane, Can you tell me if "Reimage Repair" posted on your site may fix it? should I try it?

That is an advertisement, not sure if their program is free or not.
The repair install instructions I sent you should do it for you.
But if you dont want to do that we can keep trying some things and see if we can fix it, if you dont mind working more on it, I dont know how fast we will get it fixed lol. :wink:
Till it is fixed you can use this in the meantime :cheesy:

I used this procedure to reinstall Windows 7.
A selective backup of all customized Windows settings is always recommended, if you decide to do a repair.
Here you can read a report about my successful experience:
http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/3413-repair-install-74.html#post1703213
If you have some of the third-party applications I've listed (including any type of security software like Avira), I suggest to uninstall them before Windows 7 repair. And reinstalling them after the repair.
To check if SPTD driver is installed on your system:
http://daemonpro-help.com/en/problems_and_solutions/registry_and_sptd_problems.html
About customized elevated program shortcuts, it's only a tweak that most probably you don't have in your system.

PROBLEM IS SOLVED. IT WAS THE FU*** NORTON 360 V6 WHICH WAS BLOCKING.
I DISABLED NORTON, AND TRIED TO RUN DEFRAG...then got a strange "warnig" which I didnot read properly and clicked OK......AND GUESS WHAT? IT JUST STARTED. THEN I ENABLE NORTON AGAIN AND TRIED...AND WORKING NOW..WITHOUT ANY PROBLEM
