Re: IPF in SFC
Dont use SFC to scan for altered files.
It doesnt work
During the initial installation of Windows a database (of sort) was created
of file versions, sizes, dates.
Whenever new software, Windows Update, daily operation, changes a system
file size, date, version or any other attribute tracked by SFC, SFC 'scan
for altered files' will report it as wrong, and replace it with the version
in its database.
If a dll file which windows depends on is replaced with an older version
that does not include the required functions, windows stops. BSOD
replacing some files with older versions and not others is a condition
called .dll hell.
Unless you have manually updated the database used by SFC every time you
have been to Windows Update, Installed new software, uninstalled software,
added new hardware, SFC will replace dozens of neccessary files with older
non-functional versions.
SFC should only be used to 'extract one file from distribution disk' and
only when other sources of accurate information have confirmed the problem,
and solution
