DLL Cache

You're only suppose to get that message if your dllcache can't come up with a good replacement of a missing or corrupt system file. There are variations of the sfc problem. Because you're using Pro I will suggest to try this first. (Pasted from an XP newsgroup).

"Run--> gpedit.msc


Local Computer Policy\Computer Configuration\Windows Settings\Security
Settings\Local Policies\Security Options
Double-click the Restrict CD-ROM access to locally logged-on user only
policy, click Disabled under Local Policy , and then click OK .


On the Console menu, click Exit , and then restart the computer.
You should no longer get the "wrong CD" message."


You may want to reset this setting when you get sfc running properly. If this doesn't work you may be looking at a registry edit. I had a different sfc problem that was cured by regedit.

Do you get message "Insert your Windows XP Pro. CD-ROM now" or do you get message asking for "......XP SP1 CD-ROM now". ?
If you get last message & you don't have XP Pro. SP1 CD you might have to change your Product Key.
As if its an OEM DELL installation they don't install with your COA Product Key they use a generic Product Key.
I had received wrong disk message & I changed my Product Key to my COA Product Key & then it accepted the DELL reinstallation XP CD for SFC  /scannow

 

Thanks Guys

Maxd came up with the solution. I followed your instructions and it copied some files from the cd. I don't understand what this is all about personally, but thanks for your help. I will try and download McAfee now and see if this helps that problem. It gets so far, but when it goes to install the downloaded files an Action Failed window appears.

Thanks again
