Having system problems

System hangs up when running scan disk and defrag, have
gone into help file and have followed directions to
recover system, its still happening..Also having problems
with haveing to restart my system at least 5xs per day...

Need to find out what is causing problem, have downloaded
norton anti virus 2004, but the problem started before
download when noton wouldnt work at all...

Try them in safe mode and see what happens.

I have the same problems, when trying to start the Scan Disk it starts
up and goes for a little while, suddenly it start on from the beginning
again. And it does so for about 50 times until finished (takes from 6 to
10 hours).
Then, same problem with Defrag.

The hard disk is full to 50%. Shouldn't be any problem.

I found out that if I start up the computer in SAFE mode then ScanDisk
and Defrag works almost perfect. Try.

Sometimes it hangs and I have to reboot, but not too often (yet).

I have though an other problem that drives me bananas. May be you our
someone could help me out.

When marking text with the mouse, it seems that the text doesn't "glue".
I have to try up to 10 times until the text really is marked. The colour
that says the text is marked, 'loosens', and get unmarked even though it
should have been marked.

I have a feeling the computer is working so very much that there is no
memory enough to mark text.

Any ideas? Any suggestions? Anyone?

Describe your technique for marking text--maybe you are doing something
wrong.
