Roger,
        Windows comes with it's own program to defrag your hard
drive.
To check and see if your disk is fragmented:

1) Double click on "My Computer"

2) Right click on your C: drive and click on "Properties"

3) Click on the tab at the top that says "Tools"  The bottom
third of this window will tell you how many days ago you
defragmented this drive.

4) Click on the "Defragment Now..." button. Windows will
perform a check to see how defragmented your drive is, and
will probably tell you it is only such-and-such% fragmented,
and doesn't need to be defragmented now.

5) Firmly, but politely explain to the computer that it
doesn't know what it is talking about, and click "Start" to
begin defragmenting the drive anyway.  Even a drive that is
only 5% fragmented will benefit from defragmenting.

        I would suggest that you look at the top section of your
tools window, and check your drive for errors before running
a defrag, since if errors are present, the computer will
tell you to do this first anyway.
