• Message pop up Windows File Protection & XP CD

  Got a message saying "Windows File Protection" law "of the files that are required for Windows to run successfully have been replaced by versions unrecognoized." To maintain system stability, Windows must restore the original versions of these files. "He will then ask that I insert my 'Windows XP Professional CD2 now." Problem is that the software is pre-loaded, so I never had the XP CD. How can I fix this or source CD (I have the product key)?

  Hello

  1. don't you make changes on the computer before this problem?
  2. when exactly you get this error message?

  You will need to make arrangements for the CD of Windows XP to resolve this problem. Insert the CD-ROM when you are prompted and windows could solve this problem automatically.

• Windows File Protection dialogue Windows 2003 Server

  I got an error of Windows on Windows Server 2003 File Protection. The dialog box asks for Windows Server 2003, Standard Edition CD-ROM. I didn't have one, so I downloaded a version zipped our site of Volume License, but he doesn't like it.

  The server came pre-installed Dell about 4 years ago but all the software is on the site of volume license that I have access to.
  There is no entry in the newspapers of the events for that. I restarted the server after execution of critical patches from Microsoft and got this dialog box when I logged in.
  I also looked through all the logs at startup time and I can't find anything about the dialog box.
  Any ideas on what I can do? I didn't cancel the dialog box again, and the server seems to work very well.

• Why can't open my windows files to message asking you what program to open it with XP

  Each windows file or the program I try to open gives me a screen that says to choose a program to open this file.  I can't even access the system restore.

• File protection Windows keeps asking me to reload SP3 disk and something on the DLL Cache...

  I downloaded the Windows XP Service Pack 3, just today, thinking that it would help the difficulty of "windows file protection" window continues to display up to

  whenever I connect and the office, icons, etc... then, after about a minute or two, it asks me to "recharge the cd" and something to

  do with the DLL Cache... I do not have the disk, and the download does not solve the problem... I think about a month or two ago I accidentally

  deleted some windows files that are needed to solve this problem... I'm not a computer genius, but I was not able to understand

  How to solve this problem... I did a system restore when the question first happened w / in a week or two, and that has not helped... what should I do to fix the windows

  missing files...

  God help us all...

  If you installed SP3 (it's a good thing) and do not a CD bootable XP installation genuine with XP on it, running sfc/scannow will not help you and he will complain - a lot.   Sometimes, when he starts to complain, it is difficult to stop.  This does not mean that anything is wrong with your system if necessarily.

  It is unlikely for the typical poster in the MS Answers forums with the system store bought to have a XP installation CD everything--much less one with SP3 already on it.  Why MSE suggest things?

  Still no takers?  ---->>

  If you have an XP installation CD bootable real of a plu SP, you can make a new XP installation CD with SP3 on it by a process called "slipstreaming" (sorry - there is no KB article for the Ministry of Education to post on how to do it).
