Also in XP - scanreg - scan system registry, usually asks to be scheduled at next system reboot.

With all command line programs to find out what possible modifiers you can use, issue the command with a /? at the end for help.

What about sfc / - some sort of scanner to check critical file status? Does this mean anything to anyone. There was reference to it on the 'other' place.

I know sfc/ scannow does something, but I can't remember what Something to do with important Windows files I think.

Edit: sfc = system files checker

Hang on - I will try and be a bit more helpful about this and see what was said before.

this is a quote from a post bt drpepper55 on the 'other' site

Quote:
Just as a suggestion for future use if it or a similar entry point problem happens to you again...when I had a similar problem with entry point error problems, I did an sfc /scannow run and it cleared up my entry point problems as well as a few others that I was having at the time. The sfc /scannow fix from the sfc-system file checker- checks your main system files and replaces any that are corrupt or missing with clean, default, original copies and then all is restored to the original condition. Note the space between the c and the /...sfc /scannow. Hope you won't have this problem again...but if you ever do. In essence your repair install did a similar thing of fixing/replacing/repairing your corrupted or missng dll file. Best to you...

sfc /scannow starts the Windows system file checker.

It checks for any missing or damaged system files and replaces them as necessary. You do need your Windows cd as it may well ask for it.

Note: The space between the sfc and the forward slash.

System File Checker scans all protected files to verify their version. If System File Checker discovers that a protected file has been overwritten, it retrieves the correct version of the file from the cache folder (%Systemroot%\System32\Dllcache) or the Windows installation source files, and then replaces the incorrect file.

Regards Jason

PS: More XP commands added!

I hope you don't mind me merging your posts and putting the quote box in mate, but ideally quotes should be withing quote tags There's a button that looks like a speech bubble in the text editor so you don't have to type it each time

Thanks for the clarification on that Howard, mate, I wasn't 100% sure that's where the space was

Sorry

Don't worry about it, mate

If you paste it in then select the text, click the quote button and it puts the tags in for you It's a brilliant little button but it took me ages to work out it was there
