My pc has an error msg that says Disk Keeper has detected that CHKDSK is scheduled torun on the volume: HP_PAVILLION (C:). This is due to either a user request or because the operating system has found errors in the file system.

Have you rebooted your computer? The chkdsk should run just before you logon to Windows. It should ask confirmation before it starts checking the disk, answer yes if asked.
If that does not help, then in Windows click Start, then Run and type:
cmd
to the prompt type:
chkntfs /x c:
This should cancel the disk check operation.

ckdsk will not run at all...not even on re-boot....It will not let me into the cmd......It brings an rror msg that says The NTVDM CPU has encountered an illegal instruction...then it gives me the option to cancel or ignore...no matter which I choose it cloes the cmd box.....You are dealing with a user that is not exactly a rocket scientist here and i'm sure that is not helping my siutaion any!
Your system might have virus or other malware, do a scan for those.
If your system is clean, then something has corrupted some system files.
You can restore those by running:
sfc /scannow
This requires XP CD.
Quote:System File Checker gives an administrator the ability to scan all protected files to verify their versions.
If System File Checker discovers that a protected file has been overwritten, it retrieves the correct version of the file from the cache folder (%Systemroot%\System32\Dllcache) or the Windows installation source files, and then replaces the incorrect file.
You might need to install hotfixes and such from Windows Update if do this.
