Ok, so I wanted to use one of my dads test PC's in order to run some old 2K and XP games, when I turned it on, it came up with the Windows File Protection message, I never seen it before, though last night I seen him exchanging a few disks in the CD-ROM. Im using this PC right now so the keyboards kinda crappy and its hard to type on it. :/

But anyways this is one of my dads PCs and he'll surely be really angered if he FINDS out one his hospital/friends PC's hes suposed to repair is mecked up... So I need help as soon as possible, n like I said, Im afraid to restart, because I think it might not boot again... What should I do?
this is windows XP Sp3.



Heres a pic of my situation...

Thanks. Oh and this is not my PC, like I said, nor do we even own it so please do not try to blame me for copyright or anything stupid, because those apps I did not install anyways... whatever.

Like I said, I need help bad. Please reply as soon as possible if you can... appreciate! You normally get that when a 3rd party application replaces a Microsoft file with its own. For example some defrag programs will replace part of the Windows files so you can setup a schedule or some thing that windows doesn't offer.

You may have triggered the file check during your game install. In most cases you can click cancel and move on...but you should know what files were replaced and why.

I would suggest that you click on the more information button and post what it says. Maybe we can get an idea as to what happened.


Also, just a little advice.

How many times have you 'used your dad's pc' only to find that something has happened which you don't know how to fix. I think the thing that you really need to learn is..............Leave your dads stuff alone!! Quote from: reddevilggg on September 30, 2010, 04:24:12 PM

but I loved to enjoy such classic games, like C&C (Command & Conquer) Generals, GZ, NFSMW, etc..

So yeah, I was just bored that morning and I wanted to enjoy a classic century game, but I really least expected that to happen... the message box and all... So yeah, I know its weird right... :/ lol

:
And like I said, I only used it to play an old game I couldn't play on Windows 7

well,If your willing to use your dads stuff, without permission, and run the risk of 'messing it up' for the sake of playing a game, then its no wonder he gets angry. I know, only to well, that this is a domestic issue (and probably an issue of respect), but IMHO i think you need to prioritize whats important.......playing a game or your dads wrath. 

No comment.

All of your wounds seem to be self-inflicted...

And of course some problems can be caused by a user accident but that's okay. Also you guys are really starting to tick me off. No offense, sorry for the language but can't you guys quit being so rude and be a bit more polite to the users around you? You act like your talking to a bot or something... Sorry if I offended anyone.
