File Protection Override

[Guest]

When I boot and run C:\SFC //SCANNOW I get the message there are some non
Windows files that compromise integrity....and I need to insert Windows XP CD. When I do, program completes and takes me back to C:\. If I run it again, runs to completion. If I then use other programs, log onto internet, etc and try again, completes ok. But next time I boot and run it, same old story. Need to use CD.

I have run it to a good completion, turned off system restore, turn off save page file at shutdown and then rebooted again. Run SFC and get same message that I need to use CD. So my guess is there is something at startup that is doing this. I run McAfee virus scan and their stinger report at each update and often inbetween, have McAfee firewall and have all requests for cookies prompted.

In the setupapi.log is the following:
#E167 SPFILENOTIFY_NEEDMEDIA: Tag = "win5lic", Description= "Windows XP Home Edition CD-ROM", SourcePath = "C\WINDOWS\inf\i386", SourceFile = "msgr3en.dll", Flags = 0x00000000

#E197 Writing "C:\WINDOWS\inf\syssetup.inf" to "C:\WINDOWS\INF" is not an approved method of installin INF files. Use a 'CopyINF' entry instead.
#W187 Install failed, attempting to restore orignia files.

#E361 An unsigned or incorrectly signed file "c:\windows\inf\srchasst.inf" will be installed (Policy=Ignore).

as an fyi, I also can not run search although all the files are there and I have tried deleting them and reinstall from CD but still won't work.

Would appreciate help. thanks

Hi,

First please disable any software which runs at startup like antivirus,
updates, etc. Then proceed to run Step 1 and then Step 2.

1. Run SFC /PURGECACHE (to clear the cache which could be corrupted)
2. Run SFC / SCANNOW
3. Reboot the system

Hope this helps ......
