Harry, PUt in your windows cd and hold down the shift key till you hear it stop spinning, open the start menu, press r for run, type: sfc /scannow and press enter and have a cup of coffee. At some point, the process will finish and your "protected system files" will be restored if any wee corrupted or damaged or accidentally deleted. -- Johnnie Apple Seed ----- Original Message ----- From: <wd8oep@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> To: <vicug-l@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Cc: <guispeak@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Wednesday, March 30, 2005 12:01 AM Subject: [guispeak] can someone tell me how to do a system file check, (SFC)?

I have a missing or corrupt file I want to restore called shell.dll. thanks for any help you can provide me step by step.
