OK I was able to determine that windows is shutting down successfully but
scan disk runs every time I start the computer. Anybody have any ideas. I
appreciate the help.

Thanks,

Ray

Tracking down shutdown and power-off problems (they differ) can be
somewhat
difficult but may I suggest that you start by having a look at MS KB
273746 -
"How to Troubleshoot Windows Me Shutdown Problems"
(http://support.microsoft.com?kbid=273746) and then move on to Jim
Eshelman's
pages at http://aumha.org/win4/a/shutdown.htm and
http://aumha.org/win4/a/shtdwnme.htm which cover this topic. Hopefully
you
will find advice there that will help your resolve your problem.

Windows ME in control panel report my hard drive as 3 gig. My hard
drive is 10 gig. How can I fix this without reinstalling the
operating system?

Also, the screen "It is now safe to shut down your computer..." never
comes up and as a result scan disk runs whenever I boot the system.

Are these problems related?

Thank for the help,
