Hi Dave,

I keep getting this error message

Windows File Protection

[...]

I paste here the information posted by Kaylene a.k.a. Taurarian on
this subject:

"Place the Win XP CD in the CD drive.
When Autoplay starts just click the X and close it.
Click Start button, select Run and type in "sfc /scannow" without the
quotes and the system should scan for missing/corrupt MS OS files and
replace them with the originals found on the disk.

Scans all protected system files and replaces incorrect versions with
correct Microsoft versions.

NOTES -
The Windows File Protection is constantly checking whether important
files are missing or overwritten and restores them if so. Sometimes it
can happen that a file is corrupted anyway, but then one can use the
util SFC.EXE with the /SCANNOW option to do a full scan of the
critical files and restore those, which has become corrupted:
SFC /SCANNOW
Note this operation cannot complete without the install CD. Therefore
it is important to insert the install CD before launching the above
command.
Note sometimes the WinXP Home will ask for the WinXP Pro CD, but this
is not problem as long the above condition have been met. Though it
might require that one press Retry several times before the System
File Checking begins."


Good luck
