Pagedefrag on Vista 32bit

Hi Haos,

Still have issues with Pagedefrag on Vista.

PageDefrag hasn't been updated in more than two years, so this is no change from previous, similar discussions.  As the PageDefrag utility page states:

PageDefrag works on Windows NT 4.0, Windows 2000, Windows XP, and Server 2003.

Considering that PageDefrag has not been updated in over two years, my personal thought is that one should not hold one's breath waiting for a version of PageDefrag that works on an x64 version of Windows, or on Windows Vista or later.

It is too bad that this has not been addressed.  With Win7 on the horizon I would hope that page file fragmentation will be addressed.  While many argue that it doesn't need to be updated because of the way the page file is accessed I would argue though that there are still instances that it is needed.  Such as when there is hardly any drive space and many programs running at the same time, there are many business out there that don’t purchase leading edge systems loaded with 8 GB of ram and two TB of drive space.   Many are the systems that I go to fix have almost no drive space left and the page file is horribly fragmented.  I fully expect to see this continue in the future.

Besides defragmenting the page file, the utility also defrags the event logs. If there is no 64-bit version of PageDefrag, is there some other way to defrag the event logs?
