Subject: SFC The system file checker.



XP Pro SP2 1.6 GHZ 1GB memory.
I could only get into Safe Mode. No reason, it just hung by itself.
It had been ok shortly before. I made no changes.
I ran an AV Scan.
Device manager OK.
Chkdsk OK.
Memory check OK.
2 recent restore points worked but no help. Tried to go back several
more days with bold restores and the message said it couldn't
restore. ?
I tried to run SFC but it would not even start. (Safe Mode). I used
Start > Run and entered cmd. Then from the command prompt I entered:
sfc /scannow. That didn't work.
