Disk Defragmenter or ScanDisk Loops Continuously

ID: Q172473

The information in this article applies to:

Microsoft Windows 95

SYMPTOMS

When you run ScanDisk or Disk Defragmenter, the operation may restart when only a small percentage of the operation is finished and then continue to restart repeatedly, or the operation may take a very long time.

CAUSE

This behavior can occur if Hewlett-Packard ScanJet Button Manager is running in the background.

RESOLUTION

To work around this issue, quit ScanJet Button Manager before you run ScanDisk or Disk Defragmenter. To quit ScanJet Button Manager, press CTRL+ALT+DELETE to open the Close Program dialog box, click Hpsjbmgr in the list of running programs, and then click End Task.

MORE INFORMATION

Disabling ScanJet Button Manager does not disable scanning, but it does disable one-touch scanning. For more information about ScanJet Button Manager, please contact Hewlett-Packard.
