I would enter this command from Start|Run and see if it runs from the C: drive or asks for the cd;(if it asks for the cd put it in and see if it will accept it).
sfc /scannow (there's a space after "sfc")
If it won't accept it and you are familiar with editing the registry re-read what this MS link says about adding the sfcdllcachedir key if it isn't there already. If it is there or you know how to put it there then do so. That in itself may get the sfc command to draw from the C: drive and you should be laughing. Remember to always backup (File|Export) the registry to C:\ before editing the registry. There is another registry edit that may be necessary but try this and see if it works. Re-boot after the registry changes.
I tried the sfc scan, and like you said it required me to insert my XP Cd, but like i said I have the older version of XP, so it doesn't seem to work. I really have no idea about editing the registry, I have never tried and don't know anyhting about it, so I don't want to do something wrong and make the problem worse than it already is.
Thanks for the help, but does anyone else have any ideas?
We had several Win2000 users at work experience this error..Nearly all had a major spyware infection. I'm not 100% sure if this will solve your specific problem, but it's worth a shot...Try running Ad-Aware and Spybot, and then the following process, which I wrote up for our IT staff:
#1- Log on to the PC as the user,as long as he/she is a local admin. If not, log on with a local admin account.
#2- Open the Command prompt, and type the command below without the quotation marks.
#3- Type "REGSVR32 SOFTPUB.DLL INITPKI.DLL MSSIP32.DLL ", and hit Enter. You should see 3 dialog boxes indicating success for each of the DLL's.
#4- Reboot, and log on as the user. If the problem is resolved, the WFP message should not have shown up.
#5- Place the Windows 2000 CD in the CD-ROM, and close out of the Win2000 Setup program that auto-launches.
#6- Open the Command prompt, and type "SFC /scannow". It should begin copying files from the 2000 CD to the DLLCACHE folder.

This is a good summary about WFP.

#7- Reboot once again, just to verify resolution.
