Hi Shane

When running the new version it is stalling again, i ended up turning it off hanging for over half an hour.

It was stalling on RESET FILE PERMISSIONS or RESET REGISTRY PERMISSIONS.

Which XP disc do i need to run the SFC?

How many discs should come with XP?

Thanks again

--- Quote ---Important Info on Reset Registry Permissions & Reset File Permissions
Both of these repairs will take a little bit to complete, depending on the speed of the system, the number of files and the number of reg keys. On a few systems it is possible for these repairs to get stuck in an infinite loop and thus never complete. This is because of symbolic links http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Symbolic_link

Symbolic links are a way for a folder or reg key to point to a different location. On a normal system this isn't a problem. But if a system has a bad link that points back to a parent path then everything it hits in that link it will hit it again and again forever.

Example:
C:\Test\Test1\Test2
Test2 has a symbolic link that points back to C:\Test, and now we are stuck in an infinite loop since the repairs do all sub folders and sub keys and will keep hitting Test2.

If the repairs are running for a insane amount of time then they are most likely stuck in a loop. If that is the case stop the repairs and skip them.

With XP you need to CD you installed with. Thankfully MS fixed it in new versions of Windows where you dont ever need he cd.

And XP will be on just 1 cd :-)

Hi Shane thank you

Sometimes (generally first time i run it) it goes through fine although slow.

Should the All In One Repair only be run once or can it be run as many times as i like?

The two XP cds i have are DRIVER RECOVERY & OPERATING SYSTEM which one should i use for the SFC?

Also where would i find it on the cd?

Thanks again

Shane:
You only need to run the repair tool when you think something is broken. It isnt a maintenance program, it is a repair tool. So only run it when you need it ;-)

As for the CD the one that says "OPERATING SYSTEM" should be it. Just pop it in the drive when SFC asks for it.

Hi Shane

SFC doesn't ask for the disc, just comes up with a box saying VERIFYING WINDOWS PROTECTED FILES ARE INTACT etc.

It is XP so i don't understand.

Thank you
