It probably would if operation hasn't been done lately. For defragging I'd use 3rd party solution. Good commercial ones are PerfectDisk and Diskeeper. Of free options I recommend MyDefrag and Piriform Defraggler.
Wanted to update you, so you don't think nothing was happening. The 320MB hard drive was defragged and it took 3 days to complete. Am now running the 1st part of the utility recommended and am seeing only a white screen. Have not been given the option to click 'scan' as yet. This last part has been running for approximately 14 hours.
I have a software product that repairs unreadable sections of a hard drive a bit at a time that ran like this, but I can't believe it is doing that. The utility has not reached the scanning portion without knowing what is occurring it really seems like to long.
I'll let it continue to run.

Hi,
That doesn't sound like reasonable time. It might be worth running disk check on all hard drive partitions there.

With the increased running time for some of the utilities I have serious reservations if the problem is a virus, though I do not understand the problems with word. Checking the disc showed physical issues with the drive, so I have decided to copy everything that has been created and then reload applications, OS, and move the files to a second computer. I had thought about restoring them, but decided against that for obvious reasons.
