Re: Windows File Protection SFC wants nonexistant file

OS windows XPSP2 all latest critical updates except the genuine
notification garbage.

WFP, SFC wants s3legacy.dll which is not anywhere on my computer nor is it
anywhere on my slipstreamed XPSP2 CD nor is it on the service pack 2 CD. I
have no use for s3legacy.dll because I have zero hardware that requires
it. SFC stops and will not continue untill this file "needed to maintain
system stability" is replaced. I would like to use SFC to check and update
files that really ARE needed to maintain system stability.

How do I fix?


On you WinXpSP2 CD it should be named S3LEGACY.DL_, and can be copied by
dropping to a command "CMD" prompt and performing the following:

expand -r D:\i386\S3LEGACY.DL_ C:\WINDOWS\system32\S3LEGACY.DLL
