What version of Windows are you running? Also, there is no "legal stuff" in the
startup of the program; are you really talking about the installation program?

Either way, there is nothing in OUR programs (installation or main program) that
would suggest running scandisk, so this is a Windows error. What, exactly, does
the error say?
