Defrag crashes thanks to gratuitous graphics, trashes disk - Version: 2.2.1, 11/15/2009 03:23PM PST

Used DG 2.2.1 yesterday to try to defragment a disk under Snow Leopard so Boot Camp could partition it for a Windows installation. The defragment option ran for about 3 minutes before crashing in the code that draws the ridiculously gratuitous graphics of the spinning disk, flying 1's and 0's, and so on. Naturally, being interrupted in the process of shuffling data around didn't lead to a happy result. Fortunately I wasn't willing to run this program without a complete backup, so I was able to recover the disk. I've never had any defragment issues with Drive Genius 1.5.3 (no gratuitous graphics) despite frequent use. Felt like an idiot for telling someone I had a great program that would let us skip the backup/restore method of disk defragmentation! I'll be sure to turn off the animation next time, if there is a next time.
Prosoft staff: don't ask me to contact you -- go flog the engineer that did the buggy disk drive animation, and the marketing weenie who insisted on putting it in the product!

Defrag quits !!! - Version: 2.2.1, 10/27/2009 05:41PM PST

This version quits on me while using defrag, happened a few times using different Macs.
I don't know if it's because I'm now running Snow Leopard, or this version of DG, but older versions, running on Leopard and Tiger, NEVER happens !! Strange, but luckily so far I have not lost any data. The app just quits "unexpected", but using Disk Utility I can mount the drive.
Any suggestions ??
