ɹəuəllıʍ ʇɐb Posted February 28, 2007 Report Share Posted February 28, 2007 Reading through these instructions, I wonder if the System File Checker wouldn't achieve the same thing? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-pops- Posted February 28, 2007 Report Share Posted February 28, 2007 Possibly but I wonder if it's accessible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scarecrow Man Posted February 28, 2007 Report Share Posted February 28, 2007 SFC will work. It is independant of explorer, and does not require any dependants. It is a stand alone program.To run it, press ctrl+alt+del and go to File > New Task > sfc /scannow Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
