214804 2004-02-12 03:59:00 I am at my friends computer it is a pentium 133 running windows 98 with 32mb of ram. When I run the scan disk we get a message saying close a programme as there is insufficient memory. We dont have any programmes running except for Rnapp{whatever that is}explorer, and AVG antivirus. We have closed down the AVG and it makes no difference. It is not possible to defrag.the computer as it keeps asking to run the scan disk. Any help would be welcome. Thanks. Kings kings (2729)

You might be very short of disk space.

Start in Safe Mode. Turn off swapping. Reboot to safe mode and delete the swap file. You should be able to run scandisk then. :D

214806 2004-02-12 05:54:00 they proberly have the swapfile set to small or don't have much space left on the hardrive. try safe mode but if they are memory errors just running so few programs they are going to get even more once they start running bigger programs.

persoanlly i would ditch 96 and go back to 95, it would run so much faster.
