========
Something futzed up one or more system files in Casey Jones's PC. The problem presented itself in his Control Panel but could be present elsewhere, too:
"I was trying to delete a program for an upgrade and found that my Add/Remove button had stopped working. I have a Dell Dimension running Windows XP SP3. I've been searching for about two hours, looking for information on how to fix this problem. Can you direct me to where I can find a fix? I have third-party removal programs but want to fix the removal in the Control Panel."The Windows File Protection (WFP) system may be able to help. WFP is a group of related technologies and tools that try to protect all system files, including those in the Control Panel. WFP first appeared in Windows Me and has been refined with each succeeding version of Windows.
Today's column focuses on the repair components of WFP in XP, Vista, and Windows 7, and includes links to excellent, step-by-step tutorials.
Also in this column:
- Move programs without having to reinstall them?
- Diagnose and repair file-association glitches
- What to do when a repair attempt results in a dead system!
