Thumbs up

You will not be able to run the scandisk or defrag if some of the background application is preventing this operation. You can try running the Scandisk and defrag in Safe mode. You can start the computer in safe mode by these steps:

1. Restart the computer.
2. While the computer restarts, press and hold down the F8 key
until the Windows 98 Startup menu appears.
3. Choose Safe mode from the Startup menu and press Enter.

bye,
