My computer is getting slower and slower! What can I do?

Over time, files on your hard disk become more and more fragmented. Therefore it takes a lot longer for your computer to read files off the disk. O&O Defrag tidies up your hard disk's file system and prevents the creeping loss of performance that hard disk fragmentation causes.

Booting up my computer now takes more than twice as long as it did a year ago. Am I doing something wrong?

No! File fragmentation, including fragmentation of files that are important for booting, can greatly lengthen the boot-up time. A complete defragmentation of your hard disk would speed up your system significantly.

But Windows 2000 and Windows XP have built-in defragmentation software; do I really need O&O Defrag V8?

O&O Defrag V8.0 Professional offers you many essential features that you won't find in the built-in programs: from the opportunity to defragment the Windows registry database to ActivityGuard Pro, which organizes resource use so that you can continue working throughout the defragmentation process. Even Microsoft is aware of this fact, and recommends the use of a "third party" defragmenter in a Knowledge Base article.

I would like to defragment the desktop PCs in my company regularly, but the installation and then the maintenance is far too much hassle.

With O&O Defrag V8.0 Server Edition, you can install O&O Defrag on all of the computers in your company and control the defragmentation without leaving your desk. Once it has been configured, O&O Defrag ensures that fully automatic defragmentation takes place on all of the computers on your system.

The servers in my company have very large hard disks with several terabytes of capacity. How can I defragment these within a reasonable timescale?

The unique STEALTH technology used in O&O Defrag V8.0 was developed especially for the demands of modern server systems. Along with ActivityGuard Pro, this allows you to defragment your disks quickly and without restricting the response times of the applications running on your system.

Can I control the defragmentation of my desktop PC from my administrator workstation?

Yes, you can. With the integrated O&O Defrag management Console included in the O&O Defrag V8.0 Server Edition, O&O Defrag can be controlled smoothly and easily over local as well as global networks.
