When you run sfc/scannow, using i386, getting the error "files required for Windows to run correctly have been replaced by unrecognized versions.»
When I run the sfc/scannow, I get a message telling me "files which are required for Windows to run properly have been replaced by unrecognized versions." To maintain stability, Windows must restore the original versions of these files. Insert your Windows XP Home Edition Service Pack 3 CD now"with options; try again, more information or to cancel.
A CD came with the computer and I don' t know how, or if I can use the i386 at this stage. contains WINNT i386. EXE, and WINNT32.exe indicating me a full copy of the system.
If it is doable but requiring a major tech-skills, I will put an end to this attempt and try to find a CD. (old dog, new tricks)
Thanks for any advice.

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.

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.

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:

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.
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.

For some time I get the above warning message. It all happens in trying to update Windows Defender or essential Windows. What causes this? I am deeply concerned that my computer has been compromised as a result of this error. To all those who will read this. I'm not a pro, computer whiz, or, Einstein with a computer, I think you get the idea. I have a sincere desire to learn as much as I can. I happen to be a more mature person, for whom computers came to me by my only interest. Thanks for your valuable help in this matter.

Message that I get when I click on an icon: the element "nmapp.exe" which means this short film has been changed or moved, so this shortcut no longer works correctly. You really want to remove this shortcut?
It isn't just 1 icon that does not work, it's about all the icons do not work.
* original title - problem with the shortcut on the desktop does not. Is there anyone who can tell me how to solve the problem? *
Hello
I am very interested in the precise scope of the 'to pretty much all of the icons'. At the same time: it sounds like a malware infection. Install and run Microsoft Security Essentials http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/security_essentials/default.aspx and Malwarebytes anti-malware http://www.malwarebytes.org/mbam.php. If it still does not help, try ESET online virusscanner http://www.eset.com/us/online-scanner.
