when i try to do a thorough scan disk in safe mode it runs for thirty minutes or so then gives me a notice that it has tried to restart ten times.

this it says, is because some thing is writing to the program, how? if its in safe mode theres only scan disk running surely,any advice please?

theres still stuff running in the background..........use alt ctrl and delete to open task manager and close anything you think you dont need to run.........tbh i find in xps task manager its a bit complicated and i dont know what all the gibberish names do....in win me's task manager i was fine and could shut almost everything

........ or do a restart in "Safe Mode" and then run your Scandisk.

Oh dear.
Time to rush for the 'edit' button to hide plonker posting!

You know, I did read it and saw the "Safe Mode" bit and understood it.
........... but then went into blonde mode and put my stupid reply anyway!!
Got to change the tablets I think.:D

thats the trouble with rushing around being an experienced forumer ........we rush read and reply to about 300 threads a minute...........but obviously only slightly read them :P



how about editing it and adding " WARNING WARNING Plonker in progress plonker in progress" said in one of those lorries reversing type voices
