Thanks but, the file is not on the XPSP2 CD:
Copied from CMD prompt:
C:\>expand -r D:\i386\S3LEGACY.DL_ C:\WINDOWS\system32\S3LEGACY.DLL
Microsoft (R) File Expansion Utility Version 5.1.2600.0
Copyright (C) Microsoft Corp 1990-1999. All rights reserved.
Can't open input file: d:\i386\s3legacy.dl_.
Can't open input file: c:\windows\system32\s3legacy.dll.

Description:
The system file c:\windows\system32\s3legacy.dll could not be copied into
the DLL cache. The specific error code is 0x000004c7 [The operation was
canceled by the user.]. This file is necessary to maintain system
stability.
I Googled "s3legacy.dll" and believe it is a file used by Windows XP
Professional SP2. I would bet that if anyone looks in their XP(HOME)SP2
i386 folder on the installation CD you won't find s3legacy.dl_, or on your
system at all. I manually checked the files on the CD and files on the
hard drive in Service Pack Files and Driver Cache including .cab files and
system32 and dll cache and drivers. I might have removed it from the hard
drive using DriverCleaner3 but then it should still be on the installation
CD.
Why would WFP be looking for a file for XP Pro on an XP home installation?

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

Do you have a CD with the SP2 executable or a CD with WinXP and SP2
slipstreamed into it? You need the later to expand it from the I386
directory/folder of the CD, the former if used to upgrade to SP2, should
have created a I386 folder either in the root of the Windows drive or in the
Windows folder itself, which in that case, will also have said file, which
can be expanded.
