If you're like me and have many 3rd party AC, and Scenery add-ons and you've
noticed your hard drive(s) are excessively fragmented (in my case 36%
fragmentation).
I ran into a problem when trying to defragment my drive (specifically having
problems with FS2004 files) -- it would get to about 7% and stop and say it
was unable to defragment some files (most of them) and left my drive still
very much fragmented. To make a long story short, I had to reduce the size
of my Pagefile to 0MB BEFORE running defrag, once this was done I was able
to defrag the entire drive (be sure to return the Pagefile size back to your
normal settings once your done defragging). I loaded up FS2004 and what a
huge difference it made in scenery load times and view switching, etc. etc.
