The OS isn't throwing that error msg for no reason... quite likely that
neither program hits the questionable file or directory during everyday use.
The best way to get rid of the error msg is to... holy crap! Run chkdsk!
(Sorry, couldn't resist...)
It can be done either through the UI or in a cmd window. If the programs are
on the same partition as the OS, chkdsk will need to restart the system and
run the disk check prior to booting into the OS. And it may take a while,
depending on the size of the disk and whether it's really "crapped up" or
not.
If you need detailed instructions... post back...
