Computer crashed. Your opinions please.

I was surfing the internet, listening to music, doing what I normally do, when the computer stopped working.

There was nothing for it but to turn the computer off and back on. Naturally it encountered some errors on the reboot, and I got the disk-checking screen, where it showed this message:

'Insufficient disk space to correct errors in index $I30 of file 29.'


Couple of reboots later, it managed to 'correct the errors', and I could log-on.

Couldn't do much though. Nothing responded. I managed to boot into safe mode and system restore back to last week.

Now I can log-on, and everything seems to be working correctly. However, on inital log-in, I get error messages such as

'Failed to initialize MSNMESGR.exe'

and a few others like that.



So what's the deal? Can I fix it? What was the 'Insufficient disk space to correct errors in index $I30 of file 29' message about?


Thanks.
 
how much of your hard drive is empty? The insufficient disk space typically would mean you need to delete some stuff to free up some space, the msnmesgr.exe is msn messenger which is trying to start up, if you use it, then reinstall it, if you don't, uninstall whatever is left of it
 
well that shouldn't give you an error, but you may have difficulty with a defrag, I think you need 15% of the drive empty to defrag, so if your drive's >100 you might not be able to till you get rid of some stuff
 
try going to Start-Run- then type msconfig, hit the tab at the far right and uncheck the box that has something that looks like msnmesgr in it, that should stop MSN messenger from trying to load when you start windows and keep it from erroring.
