Windows Forum / Windows Me / System Tools / February 2007SCANDISK & DEFRAG DENIED SAYS WINDOWS RUNNING
DEFRAG & SCAN EVEY FEW MONTHS. SUDDENLY MESSAGE SAYS DENIED WINDOWS IS RUNNING. EVERY THING IS SHUT DOWN-EX: SCREENSAVER ECT. SCANDISK SAYS CANNOT FIX ERRORS WINDOWS DENIED ACCESS?/OR SIMILIAR MESSAGE CAN'T REMEMBER EXACTLY > ... OR SIMILIAR MESSAGE CAN'T REMEMBER EXACTLY It would help if you could <g> and it would help even further if you turned your Caps-Lock off. (It's considered as SHOUTING!) First thing you could try is to run Scandisk (and then Defrag) in Safe Mode. To boot into Safe Mode :- Ctrl or F8 key during boot-up. See if things work OK in Safe Mode and then report back - someone here should be able to advise further. Mart > DEFRAG & SCAN EVEY FEW MONTHS. SUDDENLY MESSAGE SAYS DENIED WINDOWS IS > RUNNING.

I downloaded a new defrag sytem( that is free and developed for us poor saps with windows ME and older. I t worked great, it evan shuts your screensaver down for you. If some one else would like to try this let me know and i'll look it up and post it. sorry if you think i'am shouting at you, but i have a hard time seeing what i'am typing in lower case. thanks for your help! > > ...

If so, that would have been my recommended course of action, once you had confirmed that Scandisk (and Defrag) had both worked OK in Safe Mode. Anyway, I'm pleased to hear that you've now got your computer working again and thanks for the update. Good luck Mart >I found another answer from someone else's question.
