Re: Repair Corrupt Files

Provided you have the Windows CD with the latest SP

Start, Run, SFC /scannow

But why do you say "seems like"? Either they are or they aren't!

In general, you can't actually "repair" them; they have to be replaced.

Exactly what do you mean by "seems like"? What files are they? How do
you know they are corrupt? What is the nature of the corruption, if
you know? If you get an error message telling you about the problem,
please provide it here, verbatim.

Since there is a possibility that whatever corruption you have, it was
caused by malware infection, please also tell us what anti-virus and
anti-spyware programs you run, and whether you keep them up-to-date.

Re: Repair Corrupt Files

you can determine if you have
corrupted system files by booting
into safe mode.

if windows performance is better
in safe mode than in normal mode,

then it is unlikely you have missing
or corrupted system files.

instead there is something installed
that is corrupting your system,

which is not the same as saying that
the system has corrupted system files.

Hold down the Windows logo key and press R, then type in the run box
"SFC /scannow" (without the quotes). Depending on how you PC is set up,
you may need to have your Windows install disc handy.
