14093 2001-06-13 12:29:00 Press Ctrl/Alt/Delete key simultanoeously. Delete everything which is displayed in the window except Explorer and Systray. Also disable your screensaver, if you got one. Good luck. Guest (0)

14095 2001-06-14 05:32:00 another way is to go to dos prompt ' start - shut down - restart in pos prompt ' and run scandisk from there as there will be no other programs running.
Can do a standard or thorough this way.
