Delayed Write Failed

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.windowsxp.help_and_support (More info?)

Curious, When do you get this message ? Power blip/dip/surge 'might' cause
that if you don't use a battery back up.

I don't-know yours - but if mine maybe I would or might go into device
manager and look at properties for the hard drive, then look at policies -
if it has a delayed write check box or advanced catching change it from
enabled or not, to whatever is opposite and try that for a while.

It is just my internal harddrive on my laptop. It occurs when I go into
Internet Explorer but other times too.

Via Bumtracks, Sounds good to me,

I tried that and it still continues to give me that error message. Any other
ideas?
