You can run the System File Checker tool to scan all of the protected files on your computer:
Click Start > Run and type: CMD , and hit enter.
In the open box, type sfc /scannow (including space) and then click OK.
Note that you may be prompted to insert the Windows XP installation CD.

I have entered CMD command & then typed a sfc/scannow as you suggested but
all I get is the following message 'sfc' is not recognized as an internal or
external command, operable program or batch file.' I have also experimented
in trying putting the space at various points along this command but I
always get an error message. Any other ideas?

Make sure you have the space between the c and the slash. You can try
start..run.. sfc /scannow
start..run.. sfc /scannow

was a momentary flash on the screen.

Hi,
Try going to Start > Run > cmd
type 'sfc /scannow' in the command prompt.
(Without the quotes and with a space between the c and /)
Good luck
