You could always try the following command from the Run dialogue box. sfc /scannow This runs the Windows File Protection program which fixes any corrupt system files. This is a Win XP command so i'm not sure if it workss for other versions of Windows.

Hi, For some strange reason, I lost the speech on my K1000 and had to reinstall it. However, the installation was complete with errors, i.e such and such files could not be registered etc. Since then, I keep getting such problems when I want to install any software or hardware. All other parts of the windows functioning fine. Is it possible to repair windows without formatting the hard drive? I am using XP Home SP2 with JAWS. ----------- Thank you.
