Hi, Ron.
Maybe.
You haven't said which make and model computer you have. Computer OEMs
(Original Equipment Manufacturers) start with a full copy of WinXP, but many
of them modify it significantly before they deliver it to the buyer. They
don't all make the same modifications, so we can't be sure about yours
unless (a) you tell which one you have and (b) we have one like it, or at
least know about that model.
Why don't you just try "sfc /scannow"? The worst that can happen is that it
won't work. The best is that your problem will be fixed and you can go on
with your work. Many OEMs include all the files from the CD-ROM in a hidden
directory on your HD, so SFC might not need to refer to a CD-ROM at all.
If it doesn't work, you need to read the manual that came with your
computer, or contact the company that built it or the store that sold it to
you. Microsoft provided a solution that works; if your OEM fiddled with
that solution, they owe you.
But dfrg.msc was a part of the original WinXP (file dated 8/23/01) and has
not been updated as of today (including SP2).
