Have You Run SCANDISK On This Machine, If Not Do So.

Have You Run SCANDISK On This Machine, If Not Do So.

Firstly, if your PC is not defragging then it could be for a number of reasons.
Defragging a hard-disk simply move data on the hard-disk into the proper sectors for maximum efficiency.
Antivrus Software writes to the hard-disk at all times, therefore you would need to disable your Antivirus Software when doing a Defrag of the hardisk.
It could be that you have an Antivrus prgram running when you are running defrag.
Simply stop your Antivurus software if this is the case and then run defrag this may solve that issue.
Remeber to switch on your Antivrus once defrag is complete.
Another point to note about Defrag is with Windows 98 it may look as thoughit has stopped at 10% but hasn't really.

As far as PC Utilities go 143 error's are nothing as most are not harmfull to the running of your PC or do not really detract from your PC's day to day running.
If you were using a trial version of Software that told you the pc had zero errors then you are hardly likely to upgrade the SW are you?
Remember that even Software such as MS Word has at any given time something like 10,000 bugs in it but functions extremely well.

What operating system are you using, is it 98?

The programme you should be using is in the system tools of the accessories menu - Disk Defragmenter. If it is not there let me know. If it is ...

Try this:
1 turn of virtual memory
2 reboot3 run disk defrag. again
4 TURN ON virtual memory

Hope this helps

This is in reference to the 3rd party software, PC 1. These utilties usually indicate problems that are not problems at all, such as a missing link to a CD that is not in the drive or duplicate dll files. You are suggesting that you need to pay for the service or a full version of the software to cure the problems this software found. This, my friend, is usualy nothing more than bait to get money out of you. Follow the defrag recommendations already given you and you will probably be just fine.Defrag will seldom complete with applications running in the background.

If we are talking about MS windows OS then do one of the following. If its Win98 run msconfig from the run command, if it is win2k or nt use the startup diskettes and then run the repair function.

Have you scanned for viruses with current DAT.
Too lazy to read all the responses so I don't know if anyone suggested this. Boot to safe mode and try running defrag. Disable the screen saver.

you have to disable the viruschecker wile defragging and make sur all other programs are off such as microsoft office. Ther is a program built in called registry checker. (Microsoft Knowledge Base Article - 183887) To start the Windows Registry Checker tool, click Start, click Run, type scanregw.exe in the Open box, and then click OK.

Anything that writes to the harddrive will force a restart in defrag.

Sometimes you can ctrl-alt-del and end task on everything except explorer. If this don't work you can use msconfig to disable everything on startup.

Good Luck Lee
