Heh ... sorry.
In most cases you'd click Start, All Programs, Accessories, and then Command Prompt.
Or, click Start, Run and then type in "CMD" and hit OK.
Posted by: Leo at July 15, 2005 10:18 AMHi Deborah.
I'm not an expert on XP problems - just very familiar as I often push my PC's to the limit.
Anyway, I believe that you are not entering the full command line. If you just type SFC and then attempt to run it, nothing will happen as you haven't stated any program options.
What you need to do (in the above suggestion) is actually type the following in FULL in the run box, precisely as below...
sfc /scannow
...and then hit the OK button.
Best regards,
Brendan.
What does this SFC do if a file was updated through a security update, or a service patch? will this restore the older file ??
Posted by: gruebane at August 30, 2005 5:35 PMgruebane: it should restore the updated software from an additional copy it installs on your hard drive when you installed the SP or patch.

(incase anyone else has troubles
It should work either way ... but whatever works :-).

Posted by: Zen at September 19, 2005 4:35 PMYour POP3 server is part of the configuration for yoru email account. What server name to use should have been provided to you by your ISP.
Posted by: Leo at September 19, 2005 4:36 PMevery time i try to log into my hotmail account I get the message "page can't be displayed" or cannot find server. I need to check my email, it lets me put the email address in but it doesn't load up the page. I need to get this resolved quickly as possible because I have important information I need to attend to. Thank you.
