BradBo Posted July 25, 2006 Author Share Posted July 25, 2006 I dont use Zone Alarm.I believe I need to reinstall the whole SP2 patch to get the new Windows Firewall.I was also wondering if I should run my Windows CD .I forgot the command in "Run" to check for corrupted files.Can you tell me the command?Sorry about getting off the subject a bit.Do you think reinstalling SP2 would make me lose some files?

tain Posted July 26, 2006 Share Posted July 26, 2006 I forgot the command in "Run" to check for corrupted files.Can you tell me the command?Do you mean "SFC /scannow"?Do you think reinstalling SP2 would make me lose some files?I don't have experience with re-installing XP SP2 but I would venture to guess that the impact on your system should be minimal since you were already running it and are attempting to correct a potential misconfiguration of it.

BradBo Posted July 27, 2006 Author Share Posted July 27, 2006 Yes,SFC /scannow.Thank you.I have loaded so many freeware and shareware program and unloaded so many that I think I need to do the scan.It might help.Sorry about this thread getting so long over such a minimal problem.I hope maintenance will solve it and a reintall of SP2.

tain Posted July 27, 2006 Share Posted July 27, 2006 You may also consider a fresh install of your OS. It sounds like you've put it through quite a bit of punishment and Windows tends to degrade under such circumstances. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
