Hi

From Start>Run type or copy/paste the following:

sfc /scannow

Please note the space between the c and /. You may need to have your XP CD
to hand.

Thank's. I had ago & windows carried out a check on some files, then nothing happened. Is that normal or sholud have i recieved a message/report of some sort? By the way, the only CD i have is from the vendor (Toshiba) its a recovery disc which i dont want to use as it will remove all my programes etc.

Hi Tom

If you saw no error messages, then the Windows files would appear to be OK.
There must be another underlying problem. Which anti virus program do you
use?
