(It performs the same type of function of rebuilding your Macintosh desktop by making a new version of your FAT file - File Allocation Table.) I've had good luck running Scan Disk three times in a row (even if it says no errors were found) and then rebooting via a cold boot. After reboot, run it again if necessary. I've had really slow machines pop back to life by doing this little trick. Also, make sure that your hard drive has at least 200 MB of space. I've seen machines with less act very poorly. Windows needs a lot of scratch space so make sure you have plenty of free space on your drive. Good luck! M. J. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
