Hey, I'm Ryan.
I am running windows vista 32 bit and I get 2 files corrupted when I run SFC - they relate to the windows sidebar (sidebar.ini and store source file is also corrupted). I did a repair installation, and this always happens when I run the SFC.1 - is this going to cause any problems to my laptop if I leave it alone?2 could it be related to a virus?I'm sorry for the questions, but I'm confused as to how this happened... Any help would be appreciated.Thank you very much.1 NO.
2 NO.
This SFC message could be caused by the manufacturer of the computer adding gadgets to the sidebar before installation of Windows for you, or some other change to the sidebar gadgets
