I followed the instructions to the letter.
1. Start search box enter cmd
2.right click on the cmd command prompy
3.click Run as Administrator
4.type in sfc scannow at the prompt which was after
c:\windows\system32>
5. hit Enter
All I saw was the prompt flashing again at the bottom of the black&white
window. Nothing else was happening, it just sat there starring back at me !
Well, what did I miss ?
