[ljCharlie]

Somehow my computer is starting to get really slow. When I look at the event viewer, in the System Event log I found the following error:

Event Type: Error Event Source: Disk Event Category: None Event ID: 7 Date: 7/17/2005 Time: 10:51:13 PM User: N/A Computer: myComputer Description: The description for Event ID ( 7 ) in Source ( Disk ) cannot be found. The local computer may not have the necessary registry information or message DLL files to display messages from a remote computer. You may be able to use the /AUXSOURCE= flag to retrieve this description; see Help and Support for details. The following information is part of the event: \Device\Harddisk0\D.

Scan for viruses, trojans, and spyware. Run chkdsk /f on the hard drives. Run hard drive diagnostic software.

Many thanks for the help. I don't think it's virus...I did run Symantec Antivirus and so far not able to find any virus. However, I have not tried the chkdsk /f option. If I use that option, the computer will have to reboot and check the disk when it's booting, correct.

Correct.
