Someone posted something about a program that scans the vista files looking
for corruption of system files. Anyone know what that might be? I have been
all through the previous posts but cannot find it.

All of a sudden today I cannot read or write to my CD drive. About all it
does is eject under software control. I am thinking it's a bad driver.

Hi Bob,
You mean SFC, right?

Hi Bob,

The command is 'sfc /scannow' and it's done from an elevated command prompt.

However, I don't think this is your problem. Difficulty in reading/writing
to an optical drive usually traces back to either a dirty lens or a faulty
drive or connecting cable. For the lens, try a lens cleaner disk. Reseating
the cabling may help as well. Otherwise you may need to simply replace it.
