In Vista you can launch defragmenter only from an administrator privileges. So login from administrator and see if it working or not.

Check the Event Viewer and see if you get some error messages. If you get any do post back.

Why don't you use Auslogics Disk Defrag? It defragments much faster than the Vista Disk Defragmenter.

Try to run Vista Disk Defragmenter from the command prompt with the admin privileges and see if you can do it? If you are unable to do then try the same in safe mode.

If you are looking out for the visual display as in XP, its not going to come up as MS has done away with it in this OS. Vista is designed to defrag in the background. If you wish to see fragmentation stats, defrag progress etc and have an automatic defrag, you will need to opt for something like Diskeeper08.

But I was able to see it before with out such issue. I had never used any third party software to view the stats, etc. So why is this happening to me now?
