22481 2001-10-24 07:38:00 Have read that Scan Disc and defrag should be done in 'Safe Mode'. Anyone know why? Guest (0)
22482 2001-10-24 08:44:00 because that way windows won't load anything in your start up folder (saves closeing down the apps manually) and most important it loads MINIMAL SET OF DRIVERS.(something ctrl/alt/del cannot shut down) this means windows will run without using the swapfile, one of the main causes of defrag stoppages.

22483 2001-10-28 05:20:00 I am currently using norton's utilities to do my defrags etc. This doesn't seem to have the stoppages that standard windows has...give that a try. www.symantec.com Guest (0)
