  Original title: problem after installing Windows Service Pack 3 on Windows XP Home Media edition pc

  My pc runs Windows XP Home Media edition.  I installed Windows Service Pack 3 successfully, or so I thought. Whenever I turn on my pc a box opens indicating "files which are required for Windows to run properly have been replaced by unrecognized versions."  To maintain the stability of the system.  Windows must restore the original versions of these files.  Install your Windows XP Professional CD2.  I don't have any Windows XP Professional CD that I use the Home Media Edition. If I press Cancel repeatedly, the window disappears to return with the same information, but ask me to install Windows XP Professional CD3.  How can I stop this happening?

  Hello

  Step 1: I suggest you perform the SFC scan on the computer and check.

  SFC tool scans system files and replaces incorrect versions of system files by using the correct versions.

  To run the System File Checker tool, follow these steps:

  1. Click Start and type cmd in the box start the search.
  2. right click on cmd in the list programs and then click Run as administrator.
  If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type your password or click on continue
  3. at the command prompt, type the following line and press ENTER:

  sfc/scannow

  Reference: http://www.microsoft.com/resources/documentation/windows/xp/all/proddocs/en-us/system_file_checker.mspx?mfr=true

  I was afraid you were going to say that. WinXP SP2 to SP3, should be installed years ago. As it wasn't, you can't possible have been running an application fully functional antivirus for recent years. Here's what you do now:
