When i run SFC /SCANNOW It aborts half wat &says to insert cd & it is
inserted & seems my computer freezes alot maybe cause of this in my event
viewer i see this:
The protected system file c:\windows\system32\uxtheme.dll could not be
verified as valid because Windows File Protection is terminating. Use the
SFC utility to verify the integrity of the file at a later time.

For more information, see Help and Support Center at

of course no info on this. what is this file do?. Also i noticed when i use
SFC /SCANNOW i have to reinstall my NVIDIA drivers again. Using Gforce 4
card. Is this file with NVIDIA? using their latest version 4403 drivers. I
have SP1 installed on here my cd is original & also made a cd with sp1 on it
tried both cd's if i cancel it will continue but says i may need cd later.
When I boot up also I see my Windows XP Pro Logo then screen goes blank &
see no drive activity for like 3-5 sec then goes normally use to never do
this? This machine has Norton System works & Internet Security on it is that
causing the booting pause? or is there another thing causing it? Anyone know
this xhtheme.dll file? Sometime my computer freezes & was wondering if its
form all this?
HELP !
