Guest Rick Posted July 12, 2007 Posted July 12, 2007 Re: XP Missing Files Diagnostics Thanks to all. I tried it, it worked and no corrupted or missing files were found. After reading the article, I expected to have to dig out my XP CD but that wasn't the case. Thanks again. Rick "Greg T" wrote: > Go slow when using System File Checker(SFC).
