26712	2001-12-06 10:11:00	Just recently while the Computer has been idle , the hard drve has been running intermittently . It was happening in any standby mode . I finally tracked the problem to the screen savers . Once this was disabled the problem ceased . Any Ideas how I can fix this would be much appreciated . I am running Windows 95 Thanks Greg C	Guest (0)
