Windows File Protection Message


Recommended Posts

I'm running a Windows 2003 Small Business Server. When I Logged on to server

this message popped up:

 

Windows File Protection

Files that are required for Windows to run properly have been replaced by

unrecognised versions. To maintain system stablility, Windows must restore

the original versions of these files. Insert your Windows 2003 for Small

Business Server.

 

I haven't installed anything...WSUS updates my system.

How can I find out what files are missing and/or what caused this? Should I

really go back to the Install CD's...about 2 years old (many updates).

 

Thanks for your help...

but I would start with a FULL scan for Virusses (first update your

definitions and engine please)

I checked my server and I can't find a DllCache folder? I looked in:

C:/windows/system32/

C:/windows

C:/

I only found an empy "Cache" folder and driver cache folder.

 

I'll do the full virus scan, good idea. Thanks...
