Hi,I'm running an AMD Athlon K7 500mhz.
 
I'm sorry, I wasn't clear. What Operating System are you running? <p>Liam Morley<br><a href=mailto:lmorley@wpi.edu>lmorley@wpi.edu</a><br><a href=] :: imotic :: website :: [</a><br>"light the deep, and bring silence to the world.<br>

To check file integrity, you run SCANDISK and DEFRAG.&nbsp;&nbsp;There are several programs from vendors that will check your system, but they basically use these utilities in a different user interface to impress you. In scandisk, select the thorough option and if you want, run it after you are finished with your puting for the day/nite, as both of these can take over 2 hours to run.&nbsp;&nbsp;Use the automatically fix errors option, so you won't have to sit there and answer each question as it discovers an error. also run them in that order.&nbsp;&nbsp;Otherwise, defrag may halt on you and request that you run scandisk, slowing down the timeframe for task comletion.&nbsp;&nbsp;This is just the start.&nbsp;&nbsp;
