GEOdisk issue

I am using GEOdisk program to defrag my win98 system. It automates the whole
procedure and then when done it is supposed to quit.
I find that it cycles through the list of jobs and then begins the cycle all
over again. Then I have to intervene to stop it. Anyone know what to do to
stop this behaviour or tell me of a comparable program that works properly.

Have you tried turning off screen saver ?

Well I think one of the steps that GEOdisk does is to turn off the
screensaver and then on again. But I will do it manually to see if it helps.
Thank you

GEOdisk worked fine for me under Win98. However after upgrading to WinME
it would crash continuously. Now I use ScanDefrag, It will turn off
screensavers, boot the PC before running (in case any installation needs
to run a file in temp folders), empty cache and temp folders, then
scandisk and defrag. After completion it will reboot (or shutdown if you
wish) and re-enable screensaver. Works flawlessly for me.
