SFC problem

[Guest]

How do I run the SFC utility. When I type SFC/SCANNOW in run, nothing happens
and when i type it in CMD I recieve the following remark

You must be an administrator running a console session in order to use the
Windows File Check Utility. I am the administrator using my account

You must type sfc /scannow instead of
sfc/scannow
Thjere is a space in between
