Can't see the picture, but I would try and give it your XP Pro SP1 disk.

PS some of the XP hotfixes are labelled SP2; maybe it is a file updated by one of those that got corrupted and that file checker has found?

Well I'm not sure - I took your advice and several times during the lengthy scan SFC popped up asking for the disk which was already in the disk drive.  I selected retry and it continued.  I don't know if that was a sign of failure or bad code that asked first rather than look for source files.

It completed without any fanfare etc so I don't know if it worked or failed.

To the best of my knowledge, there are only 2 reasons why you should be promted for your xp cd, neither of which is good.

1. Your dllcache folder is corrupt and/or missing the required replacement files, or

2. Your OEM version of XP makes it hard to use the dllcache (unintentional).

Whenever I ran my OEM version I got prompted for XP Pro (I use Home) when I ran sfc /scannow. I was almost positive my protected files were good. A regedit gave me back access to the dllcache. Do this at your own risk. Change SFCDisable (under the Winlogon key) to 4, close registry and reboot. Try sfc. If it still asks for the cd then your dllcache may well be broke; if it is you might want to purge it and repopulate it. Do some research before you attempt this, ie purging.
