| 125650 | 2003-03-05 02:08:00 | Hi I have just got your (PC World) mag with it's CD with the SP3 win2000 update. Now, I am not an IT person but I should be able to follow your instructions, however I have come unstuck. after disabling virus checker etc and opening the Run command box I cannot get the "sfc/scannow" to actually do anything ("quotes" not included) I get a "cannot find file" type of error message. What am I doing wrong?? Please help ?:| John |

If there isn't a space, it's all taken as the name of a programme to be run. And there isn't one. :D | Graham L (2) | ||
