Have you tried booting to safe mode?

Ira, If TC's suggestion of trying to boot in safe mode doesn't work, perhaps you could try booting in DOS and run a complete chkdsk with the fix or repair parameter. When I used WIN 98 in the past, doing the above bailed me out of some heart-stopping episodes. If you can get into safe mode (as per TC) you can run scandisk (with fix errors). Still think you're better off running chksdsk from DOS. Good luck. Marty
