Scanning System Files

Does anyone know of a program that can check the integrity of my system files
OTHER THAN SFC (System File Checker)? SFC cannot find the files it needs even
though I pointed it at the FULL I386 folder (~500 MB). Nor does SFC tell me
what's missing/corrupted.

I need another (commercial) program that can check my system and report what
files are in trouble.

(NOTE: Ignore my previous post on this subject. This is a whole new line of
questioning.)
 
If your having system problems, and sfc says your missing files, then attempt
a repair install.

This would be in the event viewer.

There are no other reliable tools to do this. The next step would be to do
a repair install.

I have no errors in any of my Event logs.

Hello? This is planet Earth calling. RTQ next time!

Thanks, you're the only one who addressed my question. If there is no other
software available, then there's nothing I can do. (since there are no error
logs, no crashes, etc. I'm guessing that whatever SFC is not seeing must not
be a Windows System file -- like I said, I also used a FULL I386 folder. And
I just finished reformatting my HDD and loading all my programs (two weeks
ago.)

Don't really know what's going on, but no Windows tool can do the job. Sad,
but oh-well.

PS
I did find a way to decipher SFC what is looking for. It's some DLLs that
are missing in the dllcache folder. I386 should have taken care of providing
a backup, so stumped again.)

I'll just do a comparison with the dllcache and System dll's to determine
the difference and then either manually copy/register the files or go to
DLL-Cache.com and download them (if I can isolate the missing cache files.)

Thanks again. UNLESS ANYONE KNOWS OF A THIRD-PARTY SOFTWARE THAT DOES SYSTEM
INTEGRITY CHECKS FOR XP, THEN CONSIDER THIS DISCUSSION
