Hi, listed below are messages that I posted and replies received on the MS
Community NewGroup ->WindowsXp ->General. I would appreciate help as to
WHAT to do next? Thanks,
Bob
=========================
Thanks for your help guys, what do I do after I "follow the directions in
the following article to create a slipstreamed XP CD" to replace / repair
the WindowsXp files? Do I place the (newly created) SlipStreamed XP CD in
the CD-ROM instead of my orginal WindowsXp install CD and if so, what option
do I selected to replace / repair the corrupted files? Thank you again for
your help,
Bob

You will to create an SP2 slipstreamed CD and then use that to run the
following from Start>Run sfc /scannow
To create an SP2 CD:
You can download the SP2 file (266 MBs) from here:
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/...BE-3B8E-4F30-8245-9E368D3CDB5A&displaylang=en -
or if you have a copy of the SP2 CD, you can copy the xpsp2.exe file from
that CD onto your hard disk/partition and use that:
then follow the directions in the following article to create a slipstreamed
XP CD:
========================
Hi, about twice a week, I receive an error message that advises me ""Files
that are required for Windows to run properly have been replaced by
unrecognized versions. To maintain system stability, Windows must restore
the original version of these files. Insert your CD-ROM now. Reenter / More
Information / Cancel". The message goes away when I place the WindowsXp CD
in the CD Drive and a Windows install screen pops-up.
Further, I probably have complicated matters because the original WindowsXp
CD is SP1 and I downloaded and installed SP2 on my system.
I am not sure what I need to do to proceed and would appreciate help to
reinstall the WindowsXp Professional files that apparently have been
corrupted.
Thanks,
Bob

Change the "source path" for the system file checker (step #2) at the link
below
then run the sfc to replace any missing/corrupted system files.
Changing the source path will stop sfc from asking for the cd,and will allow
you to create a slipstreamed cd at your convenience.
