I'm not sure a disk defragmentation will solve this problem. I'd be more
inclined to run chkdsk against the failing drive and let it repair any
file system errors it comes across. Just bring up a command prompt and
type the following:
chkdsk /f C:
This assumes the C drive is the drive in question. You'll have to reboot
and let chkdsk finish repairing the drive. This will take a while and
you won't have any speech while it's being done. You can read more on
chkdsk at the following web site

Just as an FYI, I am one who doesn't believe disk defragmentation buys
you much these days with modern file systems, like NTFS. I'll run it
occasionally, but I won't go out of my way to do it and I won't wait
around for it to finish, so I'll just kick it off when I'm going off to
do something else for a while. I don't think it frees up much file space
or improves access time much.

However, when we checked the disc usage using My Computer, it said that 41% was being used. We tried disc clean-up and it still did not fix the issue. We have not yet tried Disc Defragmenting. We have not yet done a system restore either. This user does not have access to this list and so I offered to write on their behalf.

I suggested they install Skype with NVDA for now until we could figure out what was the matter with GW Connect. We are currently going to try using a remote session of some sort to see if I can help troubleshoot the problem.
