Re: Sfc /scannow



John,

You're absolutely right: $64K question.

Life is so much depending on computer, it is nice to know how to trouble
shoot when problem starts.
There are all sort of problems associated with computers.
The problem could be caused by software, hardware, or overwriting system
files.
To laymen, if we know the situation when we could fix certain problems
simply by running sfc/ scannow, that could save time and money before
bringing computers to shop.
That is my question.

That is the $64,000 question! ;-)

If you get error messages telling you that dll's are missing you might
want to run the command. If you are having problems and if Windows or
Internet Explorer are not running properly you might want to run the
command.

How can you tell system files were overwritten or corrupted?

If you think system files have been overwritten or damaged or that they
may be mismatched running SFC could fix things.

I would like to now under what situation I should use sfc/scannow.
When I had lots of problem with my computer, I could use sfc /scannow.
But I do not know what exactly sfc/ scannow does.
Please enlighten me. Thanks. Roman
