Hi, Larry.
I'm 68. Is that old enough? ;<)
> i need to know how to extract a file off my XP CD,
Which file? And why do you need to extract it?
Have you tried the System File Checker? WinXP automatically keeps a copy of
all its operating system files in a cache on your hard drive. Whenever the
working copy of one of those files goes bad (or gets deleted), WFP (the
Windows File Protection system) automatically replaces it with that "known
good" copy held in the cache. After every Service Pack or hotfix is
installed, the copy in the cache is updated, too. My computer (WinXP Pro
with SP1, English version) has three copies of cplexe.exe; each is 57,399
bytes, dated 3/11/2004; one of the copies is in \Windows\System32\dllcache.
Do you have a copy of this file in your dllcache?
When WFP doesn't catch the problem, we can run sfc /scannow. This will
compare each operating system file with the one in the cache and replace any
missing or damaged ones. This means that we very rarely have to manually
extract a file from the CD. Have your WinXP CD handy when running SFC
because it may need to see the CD.
You should have SP1 installed. If your WinXP CD is less than a year or so
old, SP1 is probably integrated into WinXP. There are several ways to check
to see if you have it installed. The easiest and quickest way is to press
the Windows logo key and the Pause/Break key at the same time. The System
Properties window should pop up in your face. Under the System heading it
should say WinXP Home and, if you have SP1, it should say that, too.
If you don't have SP1, then visit Windows Update and get it and all the
later fixes. Among other things, those fixes help to protect us from many
of the viruses and other bad things on the Internet these days.
Why are your user manuals in Japanese? Are you in Japan? Do you read or
speak Japanese? Are you using a Japanese version of Windows?
I see one other message from you in this newsgroup (Discussion Group). It
is dated yesterday (4/28/04), asks essentially the same question, and has
one answer from "AnnonUser", who said (about cplexe.exe):
"if you do a search of your harddrive, you should see that you have it and
the cd will read."
Did you see that response, Larry?
