To reinstall or not to reinstall

[Michael]

Recently during a reinstall of my XP Pro OEM copy on my
CP I was unable to the load the following three
items. "avicap32.dll" "autoconv.exe" "autochk.exe" So
far I've had no major problems other than when I install
software and it prompts me about one or the other missing
files. Before I go any further should I try another
reinstall or is there a way to insert those files and
where do they go? Here are my specs, Intel P4 3.06ghz
1024 ram, 40g Hitachi HD, Radeon Mobile 9700 64m. Please
let me know thanks
Mike

Hi Mike
avicap32.dll is a Net Meeting file
autoconv.exe automates file systems during reboot
autochh.exe is used to run chkdsk and repair windows files
You could try running the XP Repair or just leave well alone
