You can run 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 , and then click OK.
Note that you may be prompted to insert the Windows XP installation CD-ROM.
You will need the original Windows XP CD to perform this task.
