command line file

[Guest Dooma]

Someone told me about an XP file that runs only from the command line that

fixes any problems with xp including the registry. I run it once and it

asked for the XP CD. I forgot the file name. Any idea?

There is no "fix-all cure-all" command for Windows and for

the registry, same as there is no medicine to cure all human

diseases.

 

What was the name of the command your friend gave you?

What was the exact message you saw when you ran it?

Do you mean "SFC" perhaps?

 

But be aware that there is no such thing as a program which literally

"fixes any problems with xp." It may fix some problems, but certainly

not all.

 

As a matter of fact, beware of *any* program that purports to be a

cure-all for any and all problems (and there are many third-party

examples of these). Such programs are not to be trusted, and are

usually much more likely to cause problems than to fix them.

There is NO program that fixes all problems with XP including the registry.
