My Mother-in-law has an old Compaq Presario 4546 computer that she plays games on. Recently, she turned it on and it showed a Scan Disk error. The error message stated: "Windows not properly shut down, one or more disk drives may have errors on it. Press any key to run scan disk". I ran scan disk and it said it fixed all of the errors, but when it reboots, it still comes up with the error.

Does anyone know how to solve the problem? Also, I know F8 gets you into Safe Mode, but how do you get out of it?

Thanks,

JS

Just press whichever key it is to skip the scan and boot into Windows.
