Sorry if this is OT but I tried posting this on the BCAB list and got no response. Why is it that each time I run disc clean as recommended by Tristrum (hope I spelt that right) that the hard drive is active for a few minutes and then stops.

Nigel My life is recovering from a serious error. ** To leave the list, click on the immediately-following link:- ** [mailto:jaws-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx?subject=unsubscribe] ** If this link doesn't work then send a message to: ** jaws-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx ** and in the Subject line type ** unsubscribe ** For other list commands such as vacation mode, click on the ** immediately-following link:- ** [mailto:jaws-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx?subject=faq] ** or send a message, to ** jaws-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with the Subject:- faq
