It's also a good idea to turn off the screen saver and power monitoring.

Sissy,
They usually start over again, because something is running in the
background.  You probably have a program running continuously, like
anti-virus, firewall etc.  Each time that program does a scan or checks
anything, it disrupts the defrag or scan disk, and it will start over.  You

need to right-click on each item in the system tray and exit each of those
programs.  ( Bottom right-hand side of screen.)  Stay offline while you do
this, so you won't have to worry about security while those programs are
disabled.  Then, when you restart your computer, they will come back.
