SFC in XP-Pro Fails to work

[Charlie]

My OS is WinXP-Pro with SP1 installed via a download file.

I am having too many crashing type problems, some nasty,
and hence am trying to run SFC. SFC starts and pronptly
stops to advise that I need to install the "original" SP1
CD sio that it can populate the dllcache folder, which
happens to have over 500MB contents. I have tried
extracting the SP1 files to a CD, but that didn't satisfy
SFC either.

Where to next?

Help appreciated!

As long as you do not delete the Windows directory that contains the
downloaded Service Pack files, SFC will use the updated SP files when
running SFC.

MS-MVP Kelly Theriot has the explanation you are looking for.
Visit http://www.kellys-korner-xp.com/xp_s.htm and scroll way
down to "SP1 - System File Checker".
