I guess I have some corrupted basic files in my Windows XP Pro.
Sometime ago I loaded an application, which compared my present computer
files with original Windows CD files.
But I cant remember what application was.
Any hint, please ??
Thanks for assistance

Use the following procedure to correct Windows XP system files.

Go to Start > Run and type: CMD , and hit enter. In the resulting
Command Prompt window, type: SFC /SCANNOW , and hit enter.
You may be prompted to insert your Windows CD in the CD Drive.

SFC = System File Checker. SFC will scan your system and replace
missing or damaged XP system files with the correct version.
