Guest MedRxMan Posted July 15, 2007 Posted July 15, 2007 Re: On boot up pc starts a disk scan Thanks for the link, It appears that Microsoft no longer supplies linksto the downloads since they stopped support for Windows 98, I did however was able to verify the file IFSMGR.VXD version and saw that the newer one was a different version than what I had. I cecked on another Windows 98 PC and infact had the newer version. I copied the file and replaced the older with the new, made the registry change as suggested and as of now all seems good. I did make back ups of the registry and the old file JUST in case. Thanks again for your pointing me in the right direction.

Guest MedRxMan Posted July 15, 2007 Posted July 15, 2007 Re: On boot up pc starts a disk scan That would work but is only hiding a problem, Like an ostrich sticking his head in the sand so as not to see whats happening. Thanks anyway.

Guest MedRxman Posted July 16, 2007 Posted July 16, 2007 Re: On boot up pc starts a disk scan Yes U R correct. I actually had that particular update unchedked. Hopefully replacing the file with the correct file and making the suggested registry change will solve my issue. so far no scan on reboots, Would you suggest leaving well enough alone or undo what I did and now install the update, or run the update over what I have already done? As usual, thanks again Glen.

Guest glee Posted July 16, 2007 Posted July 16, 2007 Re: On boot up pc starts a disk scan If it ain't broke (anymore), don't fix it. You already have the newer version of the file now, so that's all you really need, along with the Registry edit. Installing the update over it, or re-doing it, won't serve any further purpose in this case.
