There should be a space between sfc and /scannow

Leah: That second request for the CD should have included a BROWSE button that you should be able to use to locate the files requested.

Thanks for you comment. I tryed again. Hoping that maybe I just missed it. I still didn't see if, so i decide to take screen caps to see if I was being a ditz or if my program isn't working right.
Here is the url for the image of the frist box:

and this is the second box:

I'm not to sure where to ask you...but...My computer is having a major problem...it seems to me to be the power...when turned on under 115v only the fan runs and the computer won't even turn on...and on the rare occasion it does it freezes after about 2 minutes....under 250v it will run but only for so long before it shuts off completely...I've restored my hard drive a number of times. Could it still be a virus...or something else?

Are you sure your power supply can handle both voltages properly? At any rate, it does sound like a power supply problem, and I'd probably start by replacing that.

Reboot. If it only boots into safe mode, there's an error message somewhere along the way that tells you why. Correcting that error should resolve the issue.

I tried to run the sfc and a window tried to com up but then it went away.Do you have any suggestions? deane

It probably tried to display an error message. Instead of using Start-Run, fire up a command prompt and enter the sfc command in it. That way if there's an error message, you'll see it and can correct whatever as needed.

what do you mean "fire up a command'?
