scandisk error

[reman41]

Ran scandisk in safemode with cable modem disconnected.
After 3 hours got the following message,

"SCANSKW caused a general protection fault in module
KRNL386.exe AT 0001:00001@36"

Anyone know what's causing this and how to fix it?:confused:

Hi reman41 - I found this article for Win95 General Protection Fault Error Message Running ScanDisk (http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=135964).

Try replacing Dskmaint.dll using using System File Checker to extract the file from your Win98 installation CD.

1. Go to Start > Run and enter SFC and click OK
2. Check "Extract one File"
3. Enter the file name and click on "Start"
4. In the "Restore from" field enter:: D:\WIN98 (if 'D' is letter of your CD-Rom drive or change accordingly). In the "Save File In" box type C:\Windows\System.
5. When prompted to create a backup of the file, note the location of the Backup folder and click OK.
6. You then see the message "The file has been successfully extracted." Click OK to complete the process and restart your computer if prompted.

Let us know how you get on.

Try pointing SFC to Precopy1.cab File on your Win98 CD using the browse button.
