ScanDisk and Reindex

About the only problem you have with MasterVision is the occasionally data corruption. Data corruption could cause any of the following problems:

  • MasterVision locks up
  • General Protection Faults
  • Stack Faults
  • FoxPro caused a stack fault at location x
  • Record is out of range

To correct these problems, do the following:

1. Exit MasterVision and any other programs you have running.

2. Select Start > Programs > Accessories > System Tools > ScanDisk from the Windows menu.

3. ScanDisk will come up with the C drive highlighted. If MasterVision is somewhere else, change the drive.

4. You also have the option for a Standard or Thorough test on this screen. Select Standard.

5. A checkbox for "Automatically fix errors" is there as well. Uncheck it.

6. Click start for ScanDisk. ScanDisk may find some problems and ask you to do something with it. Since Microsoft seems to reword these error messages continuously, I can't get you the exact messages. Basically, find the error below that looks the closest to what you are seeing and take the indicated action:

"File blah blah blah has a path that is too long for MS-DOS": Ignore this error

"Scandisk has detected XX lost chains in XX lost clusters": Fix this error

"Scandisk has found blah blah blah that is probably just taking up space.": Delete this one

"You are about to do blah. Create an undo disk?": Click on no. We don't need no stinking' undo disk.

If all else fails, select "Fix It" when offered and "Delete it" if no fix it is available.

7. Scandisk should be done at this point. Close it.

8. Select Start > Programs > MasterVision > Reindex. Run the reindex routine. Click OK to the warning about no one else being in the system. Click OK when it is done.

9. Select Start > Shutdown and then Restart the computer. Any of the above problems should have been corrected at this point.
