Error checking won't work

I have XP Home.



If I go into My Computer and right-click the C drive and choose properties

and then choose Tools and then Error-Checking, and then select automatically

fix file system errors and scan for and attempt bad sector recovery, it says

it can't do this because certain files are active. It allows me to set it to

work on the next boot up. I did that.



But now every time I boot up, it tries but says it can't do any checking as

my file system is NTFS. It then says access denied and continues to boot.



So, if I can't use the program, how can I remove it from trying to work

every time I boot up???



I looked at the startup under msconfig but I didn't see anything (but I'm

not sure) pertaining to error checking.

Compliments of Carey Frisch



Do you have ZoneAlarm installed and did you recently

upgrade it to

version 5.0? It has been reported that ZoneAlarm 5.0 may

be the root cause

of your problem. Uninstalling ZoneAlarm Version 5.0

solves the issue.

Are you running third party firewall such as zone alarm?



If so I can provide one ZA answer that worked for me - in ZA:



You can go into ZoneAlarm (ZA) 5, go to the overview tab then preferences



UNcheck the PROTECT ZA CLIENT



That is what is protecting your firewall from malware and locking the hard

drive from a scan



Do the chkdsk then follow same steps and reenable for max protection
