John,
Is there a way to make SFC only tell me about corrupted files? Does it have
that capability? When I try to run it there are so many files that have been
changed by program installations I don't know what to keep as it is and what
to change back. There is no way I can see to know what is corrupt and what
has been legitimately changed, If I just change everything back to the
original it would take hours at the keyboard. I really don't see how anyone
successfully uses this thing but it is one of your mainstay line of defense
tools. Do you know something that I don't know? You must.

Just a thought on this. Windows control panel has a feature under the
heading "Mouse" which allows buttons to be swapped for right or left
handed mouse operation. If this is malfunctioning due to bad system/data
files, there may be a solution. In W98 I would go into safe mode, run
scandisk (both ways) in case disk surface errors are involved. Then run
System File Checker (Start/Run SFC). Replace any files found corrupt. If
that was the cause, it will clear up.
