I am replying to your thread because I was having trouble defragging and checking
for errors on my computer. An error message would come up saying that something was
“running in the background”. I did the three finger “Boogie” cont., Alt., Delete
and removed everything except systray and explorer, but there was still something
running.
After reading your advice, I followed your instructions and “Bingo” Defrag and error
check worked fine.
A BIG THANK YOU! I have been trying to resolve this problem for weeks..
