You can run the 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 (including space) and then click OK. Note
that you may be prompted to insert the Windows XP installation CD-ROM.

Hope this helps.....

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.

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. If the
install path have changed since the original install, then you have to change
the source path so SFC can find the install files.

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.
