I suggest that you remove Temporary Internet Files ( including Offline =
Content ) and History. Start Settings, Control Panel, Internet Options, =
General, Temporary Internet Files, Delete Files, check Offline Content =
and click on OK. Also empty your Recycle Bin. This helps remove a =
potential problem when running Scandisk and Disk Defragmenter.

Another precaution. Delete the contents of the applog folder ( the =
content not the folder! ). See link below (disregard the references to =
the error messages ) for the procedure.

Then run Disk Defragmenter in Safe Mode.=20

To start Windows in safe mode Click Start, and then click Shut down. =
Click Restart, click OK, and then press and hold the CTRL key until the =
Microsoft Windows 98 Start-up Menu appears. For some machines, you can =
use F8 instead of CTRL to bring up the Microsoft Windows 98 Start-up =
Menu. Enter the number for Safe mode, and then press ENTER.=20

Notes In safe mode, Windows uses default settings (VGA monitor, no =
network, Microsoft mouse driver, and the minimum device drivers required =
to start Windows). You will not have access to CD-ROM drives, printers, =
or other devices.=20

Hope this helps.
