Hi Crystal, Running Scandisk with Jaws and other active applications is not always an easy task to accomplish, and it can be risky. There are a few steps to take prior to running it. Could you please tell us why you want to run it? Did you receive any warning from Windows 98 about the condition of your hard disk or its contents? I'm sure many of us will help if you could provide more details. Take care, Adam ----- Original Message ----- From: Crystal French To: jfw@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Tuesday, March 08, 2005 10:19 AM Subject: Jaws 6 and Scandisk ?? Hi, Although, I doubt that Jaws 6 is responsible for this problem, I wanted to run it by the list before I start chasing in circles trying to figure out what is happening. I installed Jaws 6 and NAV 2005 recently, and ran Scandisk for the first time since then, last night. Scandisk gave me that message that some application was running in the background and interrupting it. I am using Windows 98 se, I disabled NAV's autoprotect, and told it not to restart until the computer did, and also used End It All. I have always kept Jaws running with Scandisk, so I find it hard to believe it is the culprit here, but if anyone has any thoughts please let me know. Since I am unsure that this is Jaws related, you can contact me off list. Thanks for any help.
