Correct Errors Prior To Defrag
I can run my scan disc and defrag programs fine. HOWEVER,
if I attempt to run the correct errors option first, that never completes and moves into the defrag program. I have no virus. 78% of my resources are free. I have Dell Dimension XPS T450 and have never had any problem with it before. I run AdAware 6 daily. (can one delete ALL files that end with .tmp and be safe). Do NO programs ever use them? I only have about 50 of those left. Can one remove temp folders? And when one reinstalls Windows 98 SE it seems all the IE5 files are back. May ALL of those be removed if using IE6? Please help. Microsoft is NOWHERE to be found. Thank you, James |

Correct Errors Prior To Defrag
If you get rid of all the garbage first, perhaps you won't have a problem:
See the defrag and scandisk troubleshooters located he http://home.satx.rr.com/badour/html/how_to.html You can delete everything in the Temp folder and if a file is still being used, the system will deny the deletion. After a reboot, the file(s) will probably then be able to be deleted. You need to keep the Temp folder. That's because SE contains IE5 and it is installed automatically when you install Windows. I have no experience with this because I never install over an existing system and that is what I assume you have done. Rather than deleting the files, I would rename the file folder and test the system out for a week or so and then delete them if no problems have shown up. No where to be found? Where have you looked? MS is all over the internet and is physically located in several states. :-) -- Regards Ron Badour, MS MVP for W98 Tips: http://home.satx.rr.com/badour Knowledge Base Info: http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?pr=kbinfo " wrote in message ...
