I'm writing you after a couple of years (hoping you are still there!) w a new, unrelated problem--on my daughter's computer.

it's a basic Compaq running windows xp home edition (updated to sp2 or probably sp3--I remember that stuff about my computer but not always the kids' computers).

anyway: chkdsk /f stall at step 2, index checking--get to 5% and doesn't go further (stalled at exactly the same point when I re-ran it).

computer is operable so I can run hijack this or whatever else by way of diagnostics you think I should run.

thanks!

best,
