I'll add though that (IIRC) under 98 you have to click on the
'options' button and check the two options available otherwise, I
think, it just checks but doesn't do anything in particular.


There is no options button. There are buttons to Scan for altered
files (the default) and Extract one file from installation disc.

In 98 and XP, SFC is System File Checker. Are you perhaps using
Vista?

No I'm on XP. But you're right about the 'checker' bit, I always had a
French system where the equivalent is 'contrôle', hence my error.

There is definitely a button in the 98 version, though it may well not
be called 'options' but Parameters or Advanced or something, with two
options on the interface that opens after clicking on it...

...I've just checked, the button is marked 'settings'.


Indeed there is, and I never said there is not. What I was challenging
was your statement that you have to click on it. If you just want to do
a normal scan. you just accept the default settings and click Start.
