vlrbsf,

I don't know any thing about ME or why things are acting the way they are will your PC but look at the "ScanDisk and Defrag Bible" here.

nunfly,

Why do you want to be in safe mode?
On my 8900 UBS visioneer sacnner with windows 98 it said to install the software first and the it tells you to hook up the scanner and plug it in. Read the info that came with your scanner to see how to install.

Now it did say you could hook up the scanner first before installing the software but it may not load the right drivers if you did it that way.

Here's a great article on defragmenting:

Don't mix Windows defragmenting tools with Norton's utilities. Their algorithms are very different resulting in absurdly long defrag times.
