>In October 1999 I copied a message from "someone" in response to a querry
to
>this group about how to check Windows 95 for corrupted files.  It said to:
>
>"Insert the Windows 95 installation CD and select Start, Run,
>Type  "X:\Setup" where X is the drive in which the disk is located, then
>click OK.  Setup will now perform a routing check on your system and start
>the Setup Wizard.  When you see the Run Setup Again? dialog box, select the
>first option (Restore Changed Or Corrupted Files), then click Next."
>
>Sorry for all the verbiage, but I tried to do this exactly as stated above,
>with no success.
>When I typed "D:\Setup" (where "D" is my CD drive; and without the quote
>marks), the Setup Wizard provided the following message:
>
>"Some Control Panel or device settings have changed since last started
>Windows.  Close all programs, restart Windows, and then run Setup again."
>
>I closed all open programs using the Ctl-Alt-Del method.  I restarted my
>system, tried it again and got the same message.  Then I closed all open
>programs using the same method and went to Run and typed "D:\Setup" without
>restarting Windows to see if it would work this way.  It didn't.  I still
>got the same error message.
>
>I am pretty sure that I have many/some (?) corrupted files (my system
>freezes up many times during an evening of operation) and would like to get
>them fixed without having to reinstall windows (and basically start over).
>
>Questions:
>
>Is there something that I am doing wrong?  If so, what?
>How can I perform the test, and fix?
>
>Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated.  Thank you.
