1.Go to Start > Run and type msconfig in the Open: box 2.On the General tab, uncheck all items listed under Selective startup (make sure that Selective startup is selected) 3.Hit apply and OK and restart Windows 4.This starts Windows with only the basics running; Insures nothing will interfere with ScanDisk and Defrag 5.Run ScanDisk and Defrag, after running scandisk, then go into msconfig and select Normal startup and restart Windows
