Missing Files..??

[81mm]

In the "old days" if I was missing a utility or file I could just stick
the Windows installation disc in and re-install the missing file or utility.
However, now with XP Pro the damn thing "seems" to want to re-partition,
re-format, and wipe all the other programs out..!!
Lately I have tried to Defrag my laptop and an error appears indicating
I'm missing MFC42u.dll.
I keep downloading the file from numerous sites.., but can't get the damn
thing to work again. Plus I'm afraid of that screw'y reinstall system...!!!
Anybody know what I'm talking about..??

No but XP works the same as all previous versions. Why would you dopwnload that file from anywhere.
