Hi there Rupert Bear, Ian, and others. It's funny that you mentioned upgrading, because now that I think about it, the problem with this PC started not long after I told my colleague that I was thinking of getting a new one. Weird coincidence.
Anyway, that aside, I'm not through with this demonchild yet. I ran a Scandisk just now, and Scandisk couldnt complete the process. It came back with the following message - "Scandisk has restarted 10 times because Windows or another program has been writing to this drive". And I had nothing else writing at the time. So guys, any ideas before I call in the big guns? Harry --- In [email protected], "Ian" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > An upgrand would better as you say Rupert.
