re: Fixing Corrupt system without system restore Saturday, November 25, 2006 at 1:08 am Windows XP Annoyances Discussion Forum Posted by Mark (1810 messages posted) Instead of a reinstall try a quick repair first, using system file checker. Click Start, Run, type sfc /scannow ,click OK. Insert XP CD when prompted. The program will check for corrupted files and reinstall them but unfortunately it does not provide a report. Reboot. If the problem has not been resolved then run a repair using the steps as outlined at this site.
