Vista Repair

Hi All,

Is there a facility like 'sfc /scannow' in vista? I know that there's windows repair from the disc but doesn't this delete files and settings etc?

Thanks in advance.

For anyone who doesn't know, or has an issue with vista not doing what it should, the repair is now done from a command prompt (run as an administrator) rather than in XP where it's done from the 'run' app.

Just type 'sfc /scannow'. A vista disc doesn't appear to be required either. There's more information on the Windows support website.

This has fixed the issue that I had with my second machine that wouldn't shut down properly so it's definitely worth a try if you're having problems.
