No, you can be doing something while the scan runs, but you might limit it
to just one or two programs open at one time. Depending on how much memory
(RAM) your computer has, you should be OK running at least one program while
the scan runs at the same time.

Hi,
Thanks, I'll try it. Do I have to not be doing anything else on the
computer while it runs the scan?
thanks,

Hi,
You will want to open the Run dialogue box by pressing the Windows logo
key
+ the letter R. then type in "sfc /scannow" without the quotes of course,
and the system file checker will start scanning your Windows files for
missing and corrupted files. It should take less than an hour for the scan
to run, and at the end, the scanner will report the system's status to
you.
It will say that:
1. There were no corruptions found,
2. That there were corruptions found and fixed, or
3. There were Corruptions found, but they could not be repaired.
If the latter one appears, you would need to run a repair on your Windows,
using either a repair or the installation disk, and you will probably need
some sighted assistance, as you have to boot into safe mode to accomplish
this.

Hi,
I'm looking for an accessible and free program that will aloow me to
search for, and fix Windows errors. I have Windows 7 64-bit and JAWS
16. I'd like a specific step-by-step on how to find it and if
necessary if there are any special things about running it, please.
Thanks for the help!!
