1129900 2010-11-22 09:42:00 righto, will fish out the cd & see what happens, fingers crossed sooby (15023)
1129901 2010-11-22 10:04:00 If you want get teamviewer (www.teamviewer.com) and I'll zip win32K.sys and usbport.sys. Then send them to you. And overwrite whats there. See if that fixes it. Send the ID and password to me in a PM Speedy Gonzales (78)
1129902 2010-11-23 09:25:00 cheers for your generous offer speedy, but I'd like to try fixing this myself.

I found the XP cd, is it as simple as having that (along with the authenticity label code) and then simply running 'sfc/scannow'?

Is there anything else I need to look out for or do?

1129903 2010-11-23 09:58:00 That's all you do, just follow what comes up on the screen Speedy Gonzales (78)
1129904 2010-11-23 19:03:00 thanks again speedy!

will try that fix tonight when I have some time. Have also noticed lately the PC seems to take longer than usual to start up, do you think this is related at all or another issue entirely?

1129905 2010-11-23 20:18:00 sooby please note that the instruction is 'sfc /scannow' not 'sfc/scannow', you are leaving out a space. zqwerty (97)
1129906 2010-11-23 23:00:00 Were any hardware diagnostics ever run?

Eg: Memtest86+ or some kind of hard drive tester, or at least checking the SMART status?

what SMART tool would you recommend I run? (preferably free). PC was made in 2003, so think its IDE based & not SATA

I would recommend Speedfan. (www.almico.com) (Supports most IDE, SATA and SCSI)

Install, go to SMART tab, select your disk and hit "Perform and in-depth online analysis of this hard disk"

It will launch a webpage showing you the status of your drive. At the bottom of that page will be a link you can post here so we can look at the details.

(If anything is seriously critical with your drive, the website will tell you itself, though)
