• Error message - Windows files have been replaced by unrecognized to start Windows XP, files.

  Original title: unrecognized Windows files at startup.

  I recently installed XP Service Pack 3, which included the so-called "Power Shell". Since when I then boot up, I get a message box that Windows files have been replaced by unknown files. I gives me the opportunity to continue with these files not recognized or not. If I choose "Yes" to continue, the message warns me that continue with those unrecognized files could make Windows unstable. If I choose 'No', I received instruction to insert the correct CD and install the files. Problem is the only drive I have is the Operating System CD that came with my Dell Inspiron 530 s. The message then told me that it's not the correct CD.
  I thought about uninstalling Power Shell, but I get a message that it could lead to things like updates of IE and do not work. What should I do?

  The messge comes up saying that it is not the correct CD as Service Pack of the CD must match with the Service Pack installed on your computer. However, there was a similar question was asked here - http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows_xp-performance/in-xp-getting-error-files-that-are-required-for/f7433993-e5c2-454c-8f23-ddd7fdb3630b

  Please refer to it. The solution may be the same as far as I KNOW.

• Files which are required for Windows to run properly have been replaced by unrecognized versions

  I get this window popping up that reads, "files required for Windows to run correctly have been replaced by unrecognized versions.»  To maintain system stability, Windows must restore the original versions of these files.  Insert your Windows XP Professional CD2 now. "The problem is that I'm not running XP Professional.  I am running XP Media Edition (do not know what version - when I look at 'System' in the control panel it says version 2002, but the OS disc that came with my computer says version 2005 with update rollup 2).  In any case, I only have an installation disc, and when I insert it, the computer tells me it's the wrong disc.  What should I do?

  God help us all...

  Is the CD you have an XP bootable installation CD authentic or some kind of restore CD provided with your system (they are not the same thing).  If it's a CD of Windows, this Service Pack is on the CD?

  Describe your current antivirus and software anti malware situation: McAfee, Symantec, Norton, Spybot, AVG, Avira!, MSE, Panda, Trend Micro, CA, Defender, ZoneAlarm, PC Tools, Comodo, etc..

  If the system works, what do you think might have changed since the last time it did not work properly?

  What is your Service Pack installed?  If you are not sure, do the following:

  Click Start, run and enter in the box:

  Msinfo32

  Click on OK and when the system info summary appears, click on Edition, select all, copy, and then paste the results here.

  There will be some personal information (such as the user name and the name of the system), and what appears to be personal information for you, simply delete the personal information of the pasted information.

  When you see a message like this:

  Windows file protection
  Files which are required for Windows to run properly have been replaced by unrecognized versions.  To maintain system stability, Windows must restore the original versions of these files.

  I hope that you are curious to know what is the file and when you know that, you can decide what to do about it.

  You must click Cancel, and then click Yes to keep the file, then you will have an event to watch which will tell you what the problem is the file.

  Search where you sign in to see what is the name of file system Viewer, then decide what to do.

  The event will look something like in this example:

  Event type: Information
  Event source: Windows File Protection
  Event category: no
  Event ID: 64005
  Date: 10/01/2011
  Time: 14:41:56
  Description:
  The protected system file taskmgr.exe had not been restored in its original, valid version because the Windows File Protection restoration process was cancelled by user interaction, user name is Jose.  The file version of the bad file is unknown.

  When you know what the file is, you can decide what to do about it.  There are probably other copies of the files on your system, or you can get the files from another source.

  A shortcut to the event viewer is to click on start, run and enter in the box:

  eventvwr.msc

  Click OK to launch the event viewer.

  Check your event observer system log and look for a proposed Windows file protection event.

  If you double-click on an event, it will open a window of properties with more information.  On the right are black up and down arrow keys to scroll through the open events. The third button that looks like two overlapping pages is used to copy the details of the event in your Windows Clipboard.

  When you find an interesting event that occurred at the time of your question, click on the third button at the top and arrows to copy the details and then you can paste the details (right click, paste or CTRL-V) the text in detail here for analysis.  Remove all personal information from your information after you paste If you are forced to do so.

  Maybe someday the dialog box 'ask a question' forums XP will ask these questions automatically when a new thread is started so I don't have to ask every time.  It might even be possible to solve a problem in a single response when enough information is provided.

  What is your Version of XP and the Service Pack?

  Describe your current antivirus and software anti malware situation: McAfee, Symantec, Norton, Spybot, AVG, Avira!, MSE, Panda, Trend Micro, CA, Defender, ZoneAlarm, PC Tools, Comodo, etc..

  If you have a genuine XP installation CD bootable which corresponds to your currently installed Service Pack, you won't get away with instructions to run sfc/scannow.

  Windows file protection wants to replace a file of the backup copy he keeps in the dllcache folder and WFP found that the backup copy of the file on your system is not look right, so he complains (there is a list of 3498 files PAM knows).

  When you see the original message, if you click Cancel, then choose 'keep' the file afflicted, you will see a warning message, and then a message like this in the case where the system log viewer:

  Description:
  The protected system file taskmgr.exe had not been restored in its original, valid version because the Windows File Protection restoration process was cancelled by user interaction, user name is Jose.  The file version of the bad file is unknown.

  As you can see, the file that WFP is concerned is clearly stated in the paper, so now you know what is the file.

  For the above example, I used my (taskmgr.exe) Task Manager file to reproduce the problem.  You need to see what your event viewer message says.

• To combine files to PDF, a file has been replaced by another, the program automatically replaces the files? in other words, I did not choose, and it was merged into the document.

  When you combine files to PDF a single file has been replaced by another, can the program automatically replace files? in other words, I has not been chosen, and it has been merged in the document.
