Programs running slow on Server 2003... Compatibility
I'm a musician running software on a server with MS 2003. The computer crashed frequently when I use this drum plug in. Few of the software companies designed products with Server 2003 in mind; however, for the most part, they work fine. Still, the problems I run into could stem from a compatibility issue.
I'm wondering if there's anything I can do (e.g. defragmentation, which I've never done for fear of messing things up, CCleaner, virus check, etc. etc).

It's a long story.... I'd purchase a new laptop before changing over to a different os.
The defrag is running.... It looks like it will take all day at the rate it's going. Is this normal? It has been going for 15 minutes and is only at 3%, and it's been "stuck on 3% for about 12 minutes.

Also, can I run other programs (e.g. music editing programs) while it's defragmenting? This is going to take forever.

Thank you, ScottCha-
Given that I have not done a defrag on this in years, do you think my overall performance will improve significantly?
