152325 2003-06-13 09:21:00 I am being driven nuts by XP scanning the discs when booting. It never finds anything wrong & wastes a lot of time.
How canI turnit off?

I do not think you can, if you shut down your computer correctly then that will not come up, also if it keep coming up run Scandisk manually & see if that helps.

Hope this helps.

Apart from a slow modem everything else is OK.

This Microsoft Knowledge Base article Resources for Troubleshooting Startup Problems in Windows XP (support.microsoft.com) will give you plenty of ideas where to look.

If this is also happening on the ME machine, is there a common program/s loading on startup that could be causing it? Check out msconfig and the startup list and remove any unnecessary programs.
