27351 2001-12-11 10:31:00 When I attempt maintenance, all is well until defragging starts. The process keeps restarting at about 10% completion, when it goes back to the beginning. This continues for hours until I enter 'Stop'. Maintenance formerly took only a couple of hours. Guest (0)
27352 2001-12-11 11:46:00 Turn off everything in the task bar especialy anti-virus programs . Also hit Ctrl-Alt-Del and end task anything that is not neccessary, don't know your operating system, not Explorer or systray. Guest (0)

Right-click a blank area on desk top > Properties > Screen Saver Tab > choose 'None' > Apply/Okay
