    My System is vanilla Microsoft.

    The Defragger that came with Windows-7 Pro 64 is what I have.

    Any ideas?

    Windows defrag wil run with no user logged in. Normally you would pick a time when the computer is usually not being used and at such times it is common to have no logged on user.
