Scanning and repairing corrupt files / Windows XP

The main cause of destruction / modification (erroneous) of a file in the operating system (OS Windows XP) are viruses. In most cases, users who have such corrupt files in the system find a solution in formatting and / or reinstalling
operating system. A few days ago I had to solve a problem like this and found a method as effective as replacement, but much simpler and faster.

Replace corrupt system files with the original ones using Sfc.exe ( System File Checker ).
How to proceed? To repair the corrupted files using Sfc.exe Is needed primarily cdthe CPC installation Windows XP in cd/dvd drive . "Start " , and in "Run ... " we order: “sfc / scannow" (free " ). The scan starts automatically and the corrupted files will be replaced with the original ones from the CD. At the end of the scan... Restart! :D

System File Checker Tool Syntax

Sfc [/ Scannow] [/ Scanonce] [/ Scanboot] [/ Revert] [/ Purgecache] [/ Cachesize = x]

More details about Sfc.exe found on support.microsoft.com (Description of Windows XP and Windows server 2003 System File Checker (Sfc.exe))
