Lost Sum Control Browser

Use the System File Checker tool to scan all of the protected files on your computer: a. Click Start, and then click Run.
b. In the Open box, type sfc /scannow, and then click OK.

Note that you may be prompted for the Windows XP or Windows XP Service Pack 1 installation media.

It flash a black box sorta like the old dos box then dissappered..I run XP Home..

That shouldn't matter. Do you have your XP Home CD? If so, put it in the CD drive then try it.

You can also try this:


Start > Run type in cmd

then type inside the command window

sfc /scannow Note the space in there sfc /scannow

Put the xp home cd in and let it come up…blue screen askin what i would like to do…when i tried the start and run and the scan it just flashed the box and just set there….Dang i must have it bad..lol

you see my last post?

You can also try this:


Start > Run type in cmd

then type inside the command window

sfc /scannow Note the space in there sfc /scannow

missed it but i tried it..just as you typed…did not work…

I'm out of ideas. to try and fix the problem without losing your most important data:——– It will make a new My Documents and remove your IE favorites, so you might want to move all the items you have in My Documents and Export your Favorites. Boot with your XP CD: you may repair windows xp by reinstalling main files. the way to do this is using your xp cd and when the chocies appear hit enter to install windows. "DO NOT TYPE R TO GO TO LOAD THE RECOVERY CONSOLE" you will then accept the agreement and then it will ask you Select the XP installation you want to repair from the list and press R to start the repair. windows will then erase and copy new files to the hard drive. the computer will later boot and when it asks you if you want to boot from the cd dont hit anything just let windows run and theN setup should keep working.

Ok thanks for the help..

You're more then welcome. Sorry it didn't work

I'm a bit persistent. Are you willing to try another option?

Click
-> start
-> settings
-> control panel
-> internet options
-> programs tab
-> RESET WEB SETTINGS
That will change everything back to Microsoft defaults.
Change your homepage and search engines to whatever you wish.
