Defragmentation Aftermath
First things first, I apologise if this is in the wrong category, but it seemed fit.
After defragging my Windows 7 system, nothing is working. Okay, over-exaggeration. Booting into safe mode works fine; no issues or errors. However, when booting into it normally, nothing responds. My background, desktop icons and taskbar all load, but are totally unresponsive. I can't even Ctrl+Alt+Del into task manager to see if anything is hogging my CPU. I have ran chkdsk and it came back with no errors. My HDD has no bad sectors. I have made a selective boot up in msconfig, still no luck. My drivers are all up to date and working. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I defragged with Auslogics Defrag tool. Also, I have no restore points post-defrag.
I run Windows 7 Ultimate x86 on a not too old machine; dual-core 2GHz, 3GB RAM etc.
