The file is in the "Temporary Internet Files" folder and, as such, can be
safely deleted.
This may go a long way to solving the problem, and may allow CHKDSK to run
normally.
To delete the contents of the "Temporary Internet Files" folder, open
Internet Properties (either from in the Control Panel or from Internet
Explorer's menu bar - "Tools" > "Internet Options" ).
Then, in "Internet Options", on it's first "General" page, click on the
"Delete Files" button in the middle "Temporary Internet Files" section.
In addition, do you run CHKDSK at next PC startup?
That is; you get a message saying that the drive is in use and would you
like to have CHKDSK run the next time the computer starts-up?
Have you tried running CHKDSK from a Command Prompt by typing :
CHKDSK C: /R
....and answering [Y] when asked if you want CHKDSK to run at next boot (if
the drive is currently in use). Starting CHKDSK using the [/R] switch from
within Windows, will scan for, and try to recover data from bad sectors.
Or maybe, do you run CHKDSK from the Recovery Console (probably not) but it
may be another option for you to try....
You can "install" the Recovery Console, so that it will appear as a
Start-Up Menu Item on the Boot-Up Menu list of Operating Systems after
pressing F8 at boot...
You can "install" the Recovery Console by inserting the "installation" /
"recovery" XP cd-rom (if you still have it) and then typing the following
into the "Run" box on the Start Menu ;
D:\i386\winnt32.exe /cmdcons
....where D: is the CD-ROM drive letter (follow the on-screen instructions).
After installing the RC as a start-up option, you can reboot the PC and the
XP Start-Up Boot-Menu should appear, select "Microsoft Recovery Console"
and log-on - just pressing [ENTER] when asked for a Administrator password
(unless an Admin password has been specifically set by yourself).
Then run CHKDSK from within the RC by typing a similar command to that used
in Windows :
CHKDSK C: /P
....using [/P] instead of [/f] as you would in Windows.
You can leave the PC to finnish CHKDSK's 3-part cycle - even if it takes up
to two hours - as Windows is not running in the background, it should have
a better chance of completing.

I have a Dell Dimension 8200 running IE8 with XP, SP3 , Windows
Firewall, Avira antivirus, Spybot (for updates only), Spywareblaster,
ATF and Hive Cleanup and all the programs work well together and are
up to date.
Today, I received this message:
Files\Content.IE5\TV4YU8MI\video ByTag [1].aspx is corrupt and
unreadable.
It suggested to do a CHKDSK , I did so but it never gets past 1 of 3
and seems to be in a loop. Is this normal? How long should I let it
run?
Everything else ‘appears’ to be running ok for the present but should
I be concerned?
Thoughts/ Suggestions?
Thanks,
Robert
