Tried to run defrag start it at closing next morning have error message: could not complete defrag due to another program running,run scandisk and try again.When I run scandisk it stops and displays message about it could run faster if I close all programs,continue or close,I chose continue.When scandisk finally read complete drive the report said no errors found. What is the command to see what programs are running in the background?I do have Norton AV in my start up file is that the cause? Ron Miller D.T.V.
