If it starts scanning and you don't want it to don't you have a stop button on it? I stop mine a lot of times.

A conflict with ZoneAlar 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 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
