Unrecognized Versions of system files at logon

[clive]

At logon to a user, dialogue box appears with message
indicating that some system files are unrecognized
versions which could cause Windows XP to become
unstable. Remedy is to insert Windows XP disk, this
starts up and no action is taken. Remedy Does nothing
Cancel and exit.
How do I sort the files out, or prevent the message from
appearing each time I log on?

Win XP (Home)

Go to Start > Run and type: CMD , and hit enter. In the resulting
Command Prompt window, type: SFC /SCANNOW , and hit enter.
You may be prompted to insert your Windows CD in the CD Drive.

SFC = System File Checker. SFC will scan your system and replace missing
or damaged XP system files with the correct version.

Afterward, perform a "tune-up":

2. Go to Start > Run and type: CMD , and hit enter. In the Command
Prompt window type: CHKDSK /F , and hit enter, answer "yes" and
reboot your computer.

3. Afterward, perform a DEFRAG of your hard drive.
