Hi Ida-Mae,
For Windows 9x, bring up the Close Program window (Ctrl+Alt+Del) and "End
Task" on everything except "Explorer". Then Scandisk and Disk Defragmenter
should run without interuption.

Subject: [PCSOFT] Defrag my hard drive
> I need to do a defrag but when I try I get a message telling me I have to
do a scan disk. When I try to do a scan disk I get a message saying the
computer has tried 10 times but was unable to finish it due to other
programs, probably Windows, running in the background. I always close
programs on my toolbar like ICQ, dunce, Norton, etc but still can't seem to
get past the glitch. Can you help?
I am 63 years old and need all the help I can get.
Thank you,
