Running Scandisk (through) and Defrag
I am running Windows 98SE and have removed everything
running except Systray and Explorer. Also have disabled Norton Internet Security and Norton Anti-Virus Auto Protect and Task Scheduler. Also I have turned off my cable modem. I am still unable to run Scandisk or Defrag. Scandisk tries to run 10 times and says something is trying to access my system and won't allow it to run, Please make some suggestions; Thanks Dave |

1. Delete all temporary internet files, reboot and run it under safemode
2 Reboot and put in the startup disk and run it under DOS Regards, Peo Sjoblom "David" wrote: I am running Windows 98SE and have removed everything running except Systray and Explorer.

Make sure there is no internet or network connection, then leave the computer
completely alone while these programs run. Avoid even too many mouse movements. On my 98SE machine, I have to lock down network communications with ZoneAlarm, or the continuous writing of information to the disk resets Scandisk and Defrag. XP can only run Scandisk on system startup, but Defrag doesn't mind the disk activities. This is a Windows question.
