Sugar, sorry it took so long to get back to you but her goes. When running programs like defrag and scandisk, they use quite a bit of resources. If you have programs in the background, to many drivers, virus scanning software or any number of terminate and stay resident programs running, you will have problems trying to run these utilities. It is best to run them in safe mode anyway so that they do not &quot;bump heads&quot; with programs that are running. I hope this explains it for you and if you have any more questions of me, please don't hesitate to ask.<br />
