BlueDragon1981 Posted November 9, 2002 Posted November 9, 2002 Leaf, I dont know of any way for it to automadically load to Dos. If you hit F8 at the splash screen. (windows load up screen) you get some options. Choose Command Prompt or MS -DOS. THat is the only way I can think of now. I will look it up. What OS do you have? That helps since they are all different.

kicker Posted November 10, 2002 Posted November 10, 2002 A thourough scan disk may help with corruption. Along with defragmenting. Of course this will probably take all day to do. A thourough scan disk takes 7 hours on my computer and defrag takes 3. (This depends on your hard drive size and your processor speed, and RAM) nothing it didn't work. I tryed a scandisk but it didn't help but I haven't tryed a defragment though what does it do? when you do your best it`s going to show. "If you watch the pros, You will learn something new"
BlueDragon1981 Posted November 11, 2002 Posted November 11, 2002 Defragmenting puts bits of datat back in the correct place. That is the easies way to expain it. You should do this after installing or removing programs. (not every one but maybe after 3 or 4 installs or removals)
kicker Posted November 11, 2002 Posted November 11, 2002 Okay all try that but will it delete anything or just something with errors?? when you do your best it`s going to show. "If you watch the pros, You will learn something new"
BlueDragon1981 Posted November 12, 2002 Posted November 12, 2002 Defrag probably won't delete anything. Just orders data on your hard drive better. May realize that you have removed that program so it won't come up anymore. Probably won't work though. The file really can only be deleted by finding it.
kicker Posted November 12, 2002 Posted November 12, 2002 Thanks for all the help BlueDragon I think my parents might take it to a place to get it fixed. when you do your best it`s going to show. "If you watch the pros, You will learn something new"
BlueDragon1981 Posted November 16, 2002 Posted November 16, 2002 No problem. I like helping. Sorry I couldn't get it fixed. That is the problem sometimes with not seeing it. Thats why techs get payed so much to come to the house and fix things.
diamondick Posted November 16, 2002 Posted November 16, 2002 Is it normal for the pc to slow down start up time and processing in general the more programs you install?
kicker Posted November 17, 2002 Posted November 17, 2002 Diamondick, It is true that the more some you install on your hard drive your computer well go a bit slower. when you do your best it`s going to show. "If you watch the pros, You will learn something new"
