BleepingComputer.com: Defogger

I ran the defogger program and now my laptop screen has gone blank. When I reboot, Dell logo displays about 1 or 2 seconds then the laptop goes dead. HELP!

Hi Jimmy Wayne, and welcome to BleepingComputer.

I'm guessing that you meant defragger rather than defogger?

Did you use the Windows defragger?

Can you boot into Safe Mode?

It would help to know what model this Dell laptop is, and what operating system you are using.

I`m thinking the OP may be speaking of "defogger". Referenced HERE.

Thank you ThunderZ. I guess I owe it to myself to read that literature.

Now we just need the OP to return and confirm.

Used the Defogger program for a clean up and afterwards re-enabled but one drive isn't even appearing and the Blu-Ray drive is unable to burn DVDs which it could do before. Any ideas? Thank you.
