I need a spot of advice on a Windows/PC related subject, so any replies send to me privately, please, if you think they'll cause offence on this list. There is a slight QPC angle to this (see below) which I hope someone can explain.
As my PC has slowed down and some programs needing large files such as recording CDs, making audio recordings etc are becoming more difficult, I assumed the hard disk needed defragmenting. But it refuses to defragment saying there's a possible problem with the hard disk, that I should use scandisk. But running Scandisk shows no errors. I'm using Windows 98SE. Anyone any idea what's going on? Interestingly, the one unaffected program with large-ish files is QPC2. I wonder if this is because the QXL.WIN is a fixed size Windows file in a fixed location on the disk, so fairly unaffected by fragmentation? -- Dilwyn Jones
