I'm not exactly sure what you are saying - there is an option - if I wanted to run scandisk/checkdisk. What is happeningi is that every time I re-boot my system - for 'no apparent reason' scan disk runs. and takes about 4 hours to run! I haven't re-booted since the last time, several days ago. I didn't want to sit for 4 hours waiting for it to complete! but - the time before that, it rebooted when I ran fix it utilities to check the registry - (it wasn't supposed to do that) - and it ran scand disk - but only for a short time period. so - I need to re-boot to see if anything is fixed - or - see about changing my zone alarm - Cris ----- Original Message ----- From: Tempting2Taanzaa To: pctechtalk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Saturday, July 31, 2004 7:03 AM Subject: -=PCTechTalk=- Re: AND NOW FOR TODAY'S TIP... A conflict with ZoneAlar Isn't there an option to fix errors and then it can only do that before windows loads so, it does it at startup?

A conflict with ZoneAlar Date: Fri, 30 Jul 2004 14:04:32 -0400 I have to laugh - because a problem I'm having is that check disk likes to run every time I boot my system!! that shouldn't be cause by this conflict, I don't suppose - wonder if that is why it runs for so many hours though - hmmmmm - but nothing changed to make it start to do that - I just looked, and I do have version 5 of za - To unsub or change your email settings: //www.freelists.org/webpage/pctechtalk To access our Archives: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/PCTechTalk/messages/ //www.freelists.org/archives/pctechtalk/ For more info: //www.freelists.org/cgi-bin/list?list_id=pctechtalk To unsub or change your email settings: //www.freelists.org/webpage/pctechtalk To access our Archives: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/PCTechTalk/messages/ //www.freelists.org/archives/pctechtalk/ For more info: //www.freelists.org/cgi-bin/list?list_id=pctechtalk
