re: Windows ME Sunday, January 9, 2005 at 3:23 pm Windows Me Annoyances Discussion Forum Posted by JOHN GIBBONS (6 messages posted) Thanks for your response. I ran the scandisk, which as you said, takes hours. It said I had no errors. I am unable to run a virus program. I had to shut down and on the safe mode it ran a scan disk. It says Help and Support Valid Options :lauch default page -reg server :register the application -unreg server :unregister server -Collect :exec. scheduled data collection -url navigate to a particular page Anymore suggestions would be gladly tried Thanks, J.G.
