Re: scandisk and defrag.
Are you using antivirus software? If not, go to Symantec's website and scan for viruses online.

Re: scandisk and defrag.
I would boot from a clean floppy - minimal boot (i.e. leave the drivers and such behind). Run CHKDSK after booting (any drive as target) and verify you have 655,360 in "total bytes memory" (not bytes free). If not, there is a virus and even that floppy is infected.
Now DEFRAG/SCANDISK have sufficient memory. If you still get that error - it's not the memory .. you have corrupted files. That error seems to come up a lot when a garbled executable (or associated DLLs, etc.) is called.
Your larger problem - where's your memory when you go back to the regular environment?
I suspect it's a broken rogue application. Spyware, a trojan, malware, whatever name you give it ..... I'll start a new thread to address that stuff. I've been meaning to do that anyway and will pass on a few tips, tools, and links that should help.

Spark

Re: scandisk and defrag.
The amount of time it takes is variable, even on the same computer. If all is well Scandisk could easily run in less than 5 minutes but if problems exist, it might take a hour or more. The same goes for Defrag, it depends on how fragmented the drive data is, how much free space there is, what's running in the system, hardware resources, etc.
The best thing to do is run it when you won't need the computer for a while. I usually run them at night on my 250GB ATAPI drive and check the results in the morning.

Re: scandisk and defrag.
In order for a ScanDisk and Defrag to perform on your PC, you must have at least ten percent of your hard drive free. Both utilities write temporarily to free space on the hard drive, that's why you need that. Also, as suggested by another member, make sure your Temp folder is empty, and it wouldn't hurt to empty your Temporary Internet Files folder too.
Good Luck!
