This is a real long shot, but I’m sure that by now you’re getting desperate…
I notice that you run Spyware Blaster. You don’t also happen to run Spyware Guard do you? It can cause problems with defrag because of its real-time scanner. Tucked away in the systray, especially if you’re hiding unused icons, if you have it it might still be running???
I sure hope you can figure this one out without a reformat/restore :-\
