Dorothy, I defrag mine every Friday evening. Some people would probably say I do it too much! I leave Jaws running and have had no problem. If you need to know where it is up too use the Jaws curser to identify where you are. If your screen goes off just press any key this will do no harm from my own experience. Hope this helps. If you have any further questions just ask.
