The search function in Windows XP with SP3 installed started cycling endlessly so I decided to run sfc /scannow in case some system files had gotten corrupted. I go to Run, type in sfc /scannow (with the space as shown) and hit OK. A black box appears and disappears so quickly -- maybe a tenth of a second -- that I can't see what it contains and the system returns to the desktop.
Thinking it might be looking for the Windows install CD I put that in the CD drive, but get the same result.
Any insight as to why the system file check is not running?
Thanks.
