Question:
Does SFC/SCANNOW result in the replacement of updated system files (from
Windows Updates) -- replacing them with the older (obsolete) system files from
the installation CD -- thereby breaking various Windows Updates, or Windows
entirely?
Windows 98 seemed to behave that way. Is this fixed now, in Windows XP?
