Problems with Defragmenter and Scandisk

I am using Windows 98SE and since installing the latest critical updates both
the defragmenter and scandisk (thorough setting) crash. Has anyone noticed
this with their systems?

Sorry, no. I was hoping someone might be able to sort this.

Try this,it worked for me.Re start your computer,and press F8 repeatedly,then
start up your computer in safe mode.you can now scandisc/defrag.

Thanks. Worked for me too but it should be possible to use the utilities
without this workaround. Shouldn't Microsoft investigate this?

I too have lost patience with scandisc and defrag as it just will not run
unless "safe mode" is started. I have lost all functionality with the Disc
Maintenance programme as a result. Surely Microsoft can come up with a
solution??!
