I cannot scandisk or defrag my computer because it freezes it. I have just reinstalled win 98se over itself again due to an explorer error upon start up. That seemed to do the trick but I still cannot defrag or scan. I am just trying to get everything straight here. I also have pop up issues but I am dealing with that in the security thread. Any ides anyone? Help!
I hate pop ups
