People may suggest that you restart your computer and boot into 'Safe Mode' which works fine in most cases but not all. A better option I have found for myself is to install the FREE Power Defrag 2.0 Lite program. This will take over the defrag or scan disk operation for you, and complete it!! Visit this site... http://www.powerdefrag.com/ ... scroll down to the bottom of the page and click on where it says 'Download Power defrag 2.0 Lite'. Then another page will open where you can choose your download site (USA or South Africa) It's an easy and safe program to use. Just remember than whenever you use this program, it will want to reboot before running itself and then return to windows when finished. So remember to save work before running it, but it tells you this anyway. Regards - F1 user.	Guest (0)
