59211 2002-07-02 06:38:00 Can someone please tell me what is it that Microsft find fast does? I have looked up the help files but there's no topic on it. I ask this question because it comes up now and agian saying it has errors and the message box asks me to cancell or ignore. I have gone to the start up menu and switched of the automatic update function. Is this a wise thing to do and could find fast be the reason my system locks up every now and again? I have win95.

Cheers ahead of time

It can be a resource hog, and isn't really needed, so disabling is always an option

Look here for an explanation and a link to disabling instructions
