Damon, I have a feeling that people used to have problems when checking disks for errors with McAfee running. Most VI people don't use Norton or McAfee these days because they tend to hog and slow down the systems, bearing in mind that speech is being used. You may have to temporarily suspend it from running, but hopefully someone else will know better than I do. -- Carol carol.pearson@xxxxxxxxxxxx ----- Original Message ----- From: Damon To: access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Tuesday, August 07, 2007 5:30 AM Subject: [access-uk] computer housekeeping HI all. For some reason I can't complete a full defrag. It's a little confusing. It gets to around 10% and stops. Is there any reason why the existence of jaws, for instance, might cause this problem? I think it's a long running problem for me. My screensaver isn't on. But my Virus checker, Mcafee, is still on. Might this be the issue? Any system cleaning or tidying tips most appreciated. Thanks. damon.rose@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx skype: damonrose London, England.
