Hi
I have a Win98 machine which is running particularly slowly. I've narrowed this down to lack of memory - but during my diagnosis, thought I'd run some standard maintenance procedures as a matter of course.
I have problems when trying to run Disk Defragmenter. I've ensured there's nothing running that doesn't need to be - virus scanners shut down, no screen saver switched on etc. Trouble is, Disk Defragmenter keeps detecting that "Contents of disk have changed" - and restarts itself. It rarely moves from 0% completed (though very occasionally jumps from 0% to 5% before restarting itself).
I've run a thorough scandisk (including surface scan) and there are no problems reported - so I don't know why this should be. Does anybody have any ideas?
Thanks in advance
Pete
