Doing file check every boot

This Acer desktop wants to do a file check every time it is booted, even
though it is always shut down correctly.

How do I stop this happening?

Have you let it do a file check? If you do, it will probably stop
prompting you to do one.

I can't avoid doing the filecheck. It won't accept any key at all to stop it.

Surely someone out there knows what causes the file check, and how to turn
it off, or delete the problem.

Open command prompt and type the following command:

" chkdsk c: /f " --> to force fixing errors on the partition

This worked for me on XP. Haven't got a clue whether it works on Vista.

Chkdsk on every bootup.
1. click on your start menu and open the run dialog.
2. type "cmd" and return (note: dont enter quotes)
3. Next type "fsutil dirty query c:" (where c is your drive letter.)
4. If the return message indicates that the volume is dirty go to step 5
5. Next type "chkdsk c: /f /x"
6. After that finshes repeat step 3.
7. If it is no longer dirty then reboot and you should notice no more ckdisk.

Good Luck!

You never said that you actually did the fsck. What you are saying, as I
understand it, that your Acer will always do an fsck, regardless of whether
you have done one previously.
