So do the CTRL-ALT-DEL and shut down any running prog you can. That is what
is causing it. Dont let scandisk scan on start-up if this is happening to
you. Wait till your computer is ready and running then shut everything down
that you can, run scandisk (which should be done at least weekly anyway) and
then when finished, you can reboot to get everything up and running again
easily.
