| 148631 | 2003-05-30 10:06:00 | As you have System Works, do you run Disk Doctor, WinDoctor, and One Button Checkup before you run Speed Disk? If not, those utils may straighten things out. | Terry Porritt (14) | ||
| 148632 | 2003-05-30 10:08:00 | Most likely a registry problem i normally use Fix-It or norton utils to clear out any errors though there are always risks when you do so | kiwibeat (304) | ||
| 148633 | 2003-05-30 10:10:00 | Yes I run all of those . Could there be a block with some directory somewhere. and should I start by deleting some of the last programes ect. Shirley | alhayton (2403) | ||
| 148634 | 2003-05-30 10:13:00 | Yes I wondered about the registry tooand have cleared out to my ability but it does not seem to have made any impression. anymore help on this one. Shirley |

| 148635 | 2003-05-30 10:15:00 | Hi Kiwibeat could you explain what is Fixit and if a program where do I get it. Shirley |

| 148636 | 2003-05-30 10:29:00 | Shirley, Also have you cleared the Temporary Internet Folder and your TEMP directory... I think there are some hints on the FAQ pages (see top right of PressF1). That may help also... Cheers, Babe. |

| 148637 | 2003-05-30 10:38:00 | Following on from Babe Ruth, I suppose your hard drive has plenty of spare space? Another thing that comes to mind is I believe SystemWorks 2000 also includes CrashGuard? This is no longer supplied (afaik) because it was prone to causing problems. If you have it installed, try uninstalling it. |
