SYMPTOMS
During some animation sequences in The Neverhood, especially the longer animations, the System Agent included with Microsoft Plus! may detect the computer is idle and start Scandisk.

For example, this may occur with animations such as the weasel chase scene, the burp at the mushroom, and the pull pin. When Scandisk starts, it minimizes The Neverhood and interrupts game play.



RESOLUTION
Press the CTRL+ALT+DEL key combination to activate the Close Program window and close The Neverhood and System Agent before beginning a new game.

The readme.txt file for The Neverhood suggests that you turn off all background applications before beginning a game. This includes System Agent.



MORE INFORMATION
Although it is annoying when Scandisk starts during a game, it does not corrupt the game, corrupt any files, or cause information to be lost.
