Using sfc is hardly *the* answer. It may help..... it may not. I have, yet,
to see sfc solve a single problem on two different machines I have used
it on. The response has always been "found some problems, fixed some,
couldn't fix the others.. go read some log". True to its word, it didn't fix
anything on those two computers. Used a saved image, now that did work.

If the user has exhausted most options, I would suggest that he
put in the Vista install disc and do an upgrade from the desktop.
Or, just do a clean reinstall.
