Hi.....thinking I was being smart I downloaded a program that is suposed to clean up old dll files and archive them for you. When I did so I immediatly got a pop up saying that some dll files that are needed to run windows properly are missing. So I restored the dll files that were archived. They all restored but one. I tried everything and it wouldn't work
*slamming head on desk*
I then found that what seems to be missing is the system restore. I can't get it to come up at all....blank, zilch nothing. When I click it....the hour glass pops up for like 2 secs. and then goes away. Then if I click "System Information" I get a pop uo that says "marscore dll. not found" and if I click "help and support" the same thing.
So after searching and trying to find ways to get these dll files back I found someone that says to run a "sfc /scannow" When I do that it says that some files are missing and that I need to restore them by putting in my Windows Service pack 1 cd. Well.....I don't have that. I only have the "reinstallation cd Microsoft Windows XP Home Edition". It came with my dell computer. I have no cd that says "Service Pack 1". I can download service pack 1 from MS but it did not help....I still get the pop up for the service pack cd to be out in the drive.
Any help will be very much appreciated.
