[AT] OT computer slowdown

[Bob W]

Cecil,

Running defrag in safe mode solves the problems of your back up program and
virus program. When you start the computer in safe mode none of those extra
things start so defrag will run faster. Faster is still going to take a few
hours, overnight is always good for me.

><	One thing about this system, I have never been able to get the
><Disc Defrag to run all the way to completion. It takes so long that it
><times out or something and kicks out about half way thru. I am going to
><try the F-8 or Control key and try the Defrag in Safe mode and see if it
><helps. One thing that doesn't help is I have an automatic commercial
><backup program on here that backs up my computer every night between
><midnight and 5:00AM that probably is interfering with the defrag. I have
><it shut off now as well as shutting off my Norton Virus scan before I
><start the Defrag. I'm learning but it is a slow process.
