For years I have been using a neat little utility called Taskinfo for keeping track of TSRs running on my system. See http://www.iarsn.com/index.html for the latest version. Still it has not helped me resolve the Scandisk problem but I will look at your tips. In desperation I usually reboot in "Safe" mode (holding Ctrl while booting) and run scandisk and defrag. I hope this is not too risky. regards Michael Paine On Sunday, October 13, 2002 at 7:38 pm, John Boesen wrote: >This is a result of TSR's running in the background, use this forums search engine, >I cover TSR's to no tommorow and how to disable or delete them.
