Windows 98 System File Checker

The System File Checker checks that original Windows 98 files--the ones on your hard disk that came from the Win 98 CD-ROM--are in good condition. To launch it, select Start, Run, type sfc, and press Enter. The program looks at Windows files and restores bad ones. But reader Drew Schaffner notes that System File Checker can't tell a corrupt file from an updated one, so run the program after you update Windows, and select Update verification information for any file that System Fact Checker complains about.
