Will System Restore Do This?

[JayPeterman]

I've had problems with the Windows File Protection popup. It seems
when I try to run a program from my D drive (extra storage) the WFP
pops up.

My question is can I do a restore to a previous state or do I need to
put the CD in? It seems a previous state would have all of the files
needed.

Also does the restore from the recovery console mode work? I always
get DOS command options but that's it. Is that it?

Thank you.

Go to Start > Run and type: CMD , and hit enter. In the resulting
Command Prompt window, type: SFC /SCANNOW , and hit enter.
You may be prompted to insert your Windows CD in the CD Drive.

SFC =3D System File Checker. SFC will scan your system and replace =
missing
or damaged XP system files with the correct version.

Description of Windows XP and Windows Server 2003 System File Checker =
(Sfc.exe)

Afterward, perform a "tune-up":

1. Perform a DISK CLEANUP:
(Start > Programs > Accessories > System Tools > Disk Cleanup)

2. Go to Start > Run and type: CMD , and hit enter. In the Command
Prompt window type: CHKDSK /F , and hit enter, answer "yes" and
reboot your computer.

3. Afterward, perform a DEFRAG of your hard drive.

The program you are trying to install has the outdated version of DLLs. This
is the reason WFP is popping up. You need to insert the XP and run SFC
/Scannow to restore the core system files.

I've done some research on the WFP but never did I see it explained
that the DLLs were outdated. Now I actually understand why it's
popping up. Thanks very much for the help.

The very reason WFP popped up is that the core system files have been
replaced with outdated versions. This happened to me once I installed a
rogue application which replaced the runtimes to earlier version. (probably
the oleaut32.dll) and other files. When I did a SFC /Scannow, all was fine.

Thanks again. Everything seems to be operable now. I guess I need to
install fresh versions of software that was on my extra storage drive.
Have a good evening.
