How do I get the little coloured blocks back? (Defrag)

    When I finally upgraded to NT-based Windows (2007) from Windows 98, one thing I noticed is that the defrag doesn't have the little coloured blocks. I loved watching them dance around.

    Anybody know a good, free defragger with them? There's no screenshots on MG, and I don't know if I'd want to get stuff like this from other sites.

    Oh, I've got Vista Home Basic.

    Also FYI: On most download pages here if you look towards the top right hand side you will almost always find an option for a screenshot, click it and view it. :)

    Has anybody been able to get the win 98 defrag prog to run properly in win xp as win xp pro is preventing the defrag prog to access the hdd when I click on the defrag button in the win 98 defrag menu window?I really loved that defrag prog and miss it and would love to be able to use it in win xp pro!

    Thanks but atm I use a combination of window xp pro's defrag utility and O&O defrag v4 pro edition but I am not happy with both of those programs. :( Thats why I asked that question.
