Guest Bill in Co. Posted July 14, 2008 Posted July 14, 2008 Re: sfc.exe command -- only show problems, not replace. This is another instance of where Win98SE had WinXP beat, because at least in Win98SE, you *could* get *a usable report log*, AND elect whether or not to replace some of those DLL files, as I recall!

Guest Phillip Pi Posted July 14, 2008 Posted July 14, 2008 Re: sfc.exe command -- only show problems, not replace. Wow, how dumb. Is there a free third party that is similiar to sfc.exe that can do report only?

Guest Bill in Co. Posted July 15, 2008 Posted July 15, 2008 Re: sfc.exe command -- only show problems, not replace. Not that I'm aware of. But maybe some else is, but I doubt it really exists, since this is primarily a built in Microsoft function (i.e. relating to SFC), and 2) how many people really want to know such "seemingly arcane" stuff? (answer: just a few of us) And before anyone responds again by mentioning that software out there that can check the drivers on your system, that's NOT what we're talking about here. We're talking about monitoring the system DLL files, etc. And NOT just (or even mainly) driver updates, etc. Phillip Pi wrote: > Wow, how dumb.
