I suggest that you remove Temporary Internet Files ( including Offline = Content ) and History. Start Settings, Control Panel, Internet Options, = General, Temporary Internet Files, Delete Files, check Offline Content = and click on OK. Also empty your Recycle Bin. This helps remove a = potential problem when running Scandisk and Disk Defragmenter. Another precaution. Delete the contents of the applog folder ( the = content not the folder! ). See link below (disregard the references to = the error messages ) for the procedure. Defrag Error Message: ID NoEFRAG00205 (Q238165) http://support.microsoft.com/default...;en-us;Q238165 I would then run a "thorough" Scandisk again in Safe Mode. For Options = see that System & Data areas is selected. Then click on Advanced and see = that you have selected: 1. Display Summary -Always. 2. Log file -Append to Log 3. Check files for -Check all three options. 4. Report Ms-Dos Mode name length errors There is an option to Automatically fix errors which I would check but = many computer buffs do not preferring to investigate the error using the = log before attempting to fix the problem. When you have successfully run Scandisk run Disk Defragmenter in Safe = Mode.=20 To start Windows in safe mode Click Start, and then click Shut down. = Click Restart, click OK, and then press and hold the CTRL key until the = Microsoft Windows 98 Start-up Menu appears.
