Have 'given it a whirl' (several times, actually) and still get intermittent failure to shut down - but my machine is a different 'spec' - P4, 512Mbs Ram etc. Looks like I'm stuck with the Scan Disk startup routine for a while longer!!
If you have a moment, maybe you could consider my latest problem saga - see DMM.EXE??? thread.
Thanks again.
