Scannow

I am told to use scannow to check that all files are installed correctly and
if corrupted will be replaced automatically. However when I place the correct
instruction into the run dialogue box and ask it to run nothing happens?? How
can I rectify this??
Thanks

Hi Ken

Are you using the correct command:

sfc /scannow

Please note the space between the c and /.

Hi Ken

Try

from a command prompt.
