System File Checker (SFC.EXE)
Run the System File Checker (SFC.EXE) to verify that your newly
installed operating system contains the correct versions of all
important system files. Click to Start/Run and type the
following command on the Run line:
SFC /scannow
Hit OK. SFC will then look for possible conflicts caused by
incorrect versions of dynamic link libraries and other important
system files. (Note: You must either be logged in as
Administrator or as a member of the Administrator group to run
SFC. You may also be asked to insert your setup CD.)
Some badly done installation routines may try to overwrite newer
system files with older files. Although XP is quite good about
catching and preventing this kind of error, manually running SFC
can't hurt.
