Whenever stuff like this doesn't work (Defrag, control panel, other key Windows programs), there is frequently a corruption to Windows itself. If you are running XP, sometimes (not always), downloading and installing or reinstalling SP2 will correct such issues because it re-writes so much of Windows. ... JD Hurst

SP 2 itself does not corrupt the built-in Disk Defragger. It works for me. So you might go to the Microsoft site and find the actual SP 2 file, download it (very large) and try re-installing it. It is possible the initial SP2 update did not install correctly based on what you reported here.

MS will send you a CD with SP2 if requested free of charge. That's the way I went. Took about 10 days for it to arrive.
