Windows File Protection
Hi I just got this message that said:files that are reqiured for Windows to run properly have been replaced by unrecognized versions,to maintain system stability Windows must restore the original versions of these files. Insert your WinXP Home edition CD-Rom now.
it has opps. that say try again, more info, cancel.
when I pressed more info this is what it said:
1,Possible reasons for this problem: you have inserted wrong CD (i,e a different Windows product CD than the version installed (I didn't)
2,CD Rom Drive in your system is not working. (it is.)
everything including CD Rom is working ok, I was using CD Rom last night to play a movie (cd rom is a DVD Rom also played a CD game and did NOT have any problems. can someone help please.
Sorry I forgot to say I have a Dell Dem. 4500s desktop WinXP Home SP1 40GB HD P4 1,8 GHz 512MB SDRam hope this helps

Hey I had the same problem on my Dim desktop and it turns out that somehow the cryptographic service got disabled. It checks for authenticity of files and stuff like that. Go to Start->Run-> "services.msc" (no quotes) then check to see that cryptographic services is set to automatic. To do that right click go to properites and you'll see where it says manual/disabled/automatic and you can choose which one, set it to automatic.
