I am having trouble running scandisk or defrag on my computer. I have WIN98 and everytime I try to run scandisk or defrag, it keeps restarting and after 10 times a message comes up and says it has restarted that amount. I have closed every active program that could be running but I still experience the same problem

I see this regularly when you have a resident virus package running.
Be sure you have temporarily disabled any virus software or any other software that accesses the hard drive regularly (zone-alarm, ad-aware).
Use the task manager to end all non-systems tasks.
