Squeeze,  I'm sad to tell you that it did NOT work for me: Windows did accept the cd, never asked for a code, repaired(?) my files,... and failed to start explorer.With my recovery disk of Ghost I could replace explorer with my old one, so it worked again. Even worse, the things that needed repair, ARE NOT REPAIRED!!
So what to do now?

  thanks dave, zqueeze,
I'm gonna try this !
I'll let you know what happens.

HELLO THERE,
sorry, caps lock.. I'm looking for a workaround for a systemfile-checking WITHOUT the xp-cd( I don't have one and I can't get one!).
Is it for instance possible to use the cd from someone else?
My COM+ is not working properly(snapins can't get initialised) and re-installing com+ didn't solve it.
On the update- site of Microsoft there's one update for .NET that I cannot get installed; complaints about my runtime libraries.
Another probably related issue is that I miss the part where you can see the dependencies of a service.I can send you a picture if you like.
help?
thanx\pavluv

Hi 550,
thanks for helping:
now there's my problem(one of them..): I don't have a cd with XP, and I can't get one. Was installed on a hidden partition( OEM) and Packard Bell won't give me a cd.
is there a workaround for this?

I'm the newbe here and I'd like you to surprise me..with answers to some burnin questions about COM+:
My MMC isn't working well, some modules can't be initialised. What info do you need to get to the heart of this?
hellup!
