scandisk problem

I try to perform scandsik on my friend computer and this is what happened :

"Scandisk has restarted 10 times because windows or another program has been writing to this drive.
Quitting some running programs may enable scandisk to finish sooner. Do you want to continue receiving this warning ? "

I did close all the program (included screen saver), but still it doesn't work.

The OS is Windows Me.

Is anybody know why ?, Help Please....

Hi,

for scandisk and defrag on Windows 95/98 and ME computers you better do that in safe mode.

Have you scanned for spyware? My mom's computer used to do that. I scanned for spyware, found 900+, and that solved the problem.
