19542	2001-09-28 08:04:00	Running Windows 98se on Pentium III 667. System won't defrag. Keeps reaching 3% then restarts, over and over again. Have cleaned out unwanted 'stuff', run scan disk, run AVG, run Adaware, and run system file checker. Now I want to defrag. but it won't. Any help greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance to those who can help me.	Guest (0)

When I ran scandisk I receved a message saying that something else was running, but couldn't work out what. However in saying that, it has allways worked perfectly well with these functions running until now.	Guest (0)

Go to http://www.jv16.org This has a column for Startup programmes & can be set to show hidden programmes that do not show with Control Alt Del I used this to find & remove a programme that I thought I had junked about 3 years ago.Frank	Guest (0)
