I can't believe that I actually "ran into" others with the same problem as I have with System Restore, Scan Disk, and Defrag. A number of folks I work with have Me on their home machines and have not yet experienced this problem. One of my coworkers suggested trying scan disk and defrag in Safe Mode, but I can't seem to get to that either. I've tried restarting and holding down the CTRL key and the F2 key, but nothing seems to work there any more. If there's anybody out there with that set of problems who's found something that works, please let us know. Thanks.
