a search of C: found hwxcht.dl_ in windows\I386\lang and XP\I386\lang and hwxcht.dll in windows\system32\dllcache and windows\lastgood\system32\dllcache. Nowhere else. They may well be unnecessary to my system, but not worth worrying about. A search of the CD showed hwxcht.dl_ at: C:\Documents...

I made a slipstreamed CD of XPPRO with SP2 and used it to upgrade from XPHOMESP2. I didn't want to do format and clean install.

Thanks for the info on $uninstallKBnnnnnn$. I changed the SourcePath pointer on my machine after verifying that is the location on CD, re-booted, and ran SFC----no change. installed XPPROSP2 was installed as an upgrade to XPHOMESP2. The folder Service Pack is empty. The other two referred to...

Sorry about my misunderstanding, now cleared up , of %systemroot%. There are in %systemroot% about 100 folders (300MB) of the general form $uninstallKBnnnnnn$ where n is an Arabic digit. Some have a Q instead of the KB. They are mostly populated with *.dll files, one to several per folder...

Linney, There is nothing at this location %systemroot%\Servicepackfiles. There is %systemroot%\SP2 which has a 266MB self extracting cabinet. There exists %systemroot%\windows\Servicepackfiles which is empty. HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\sourcepath is e:\...

SFC "created" 1057 (146MB)*.tmp files while running. 4 of them were "accessed" (old 640, 643, 6da, and 6df) along with 3 *.dll's (hwxcht, hwxjpn, and hwxkor) and netwlan5.sys.

FWIW: The chkdsk apparently deleted the *.tmp files--they are gone. Began another SFC and it immediately requested the first four files it had previously needed, so I aborted and am now running it with the CD.

Thanks, Linney. Ran an uneventful chkdsk: Checking file system on C: The type of the file system is NTFS. A disk check has been scheduled. Windows will now check the disk. Cleaning up minor inconsistencies on the drive. Cleaning up 42 unused index entries from index...

Linney, As I understand SFC it should only replace missing or corrupted files; before I upgraded to pro I ran it many times without a CD being requested. I am the sole user of this machine, and am always logged on as administrator. I have system restore turned on as I have had occasion to use...

Thanks, Linney. No 3rd party "restores". My concern is not the tmp's, rather that SFC doesn't appear to fix anything. That is it needs the same files every time it's run even when immediately repeated.

Thanks, Linney I ran a cleanup, which had no effect. Then I moved the *.tmp's and started a scan which immediately requested the CD so I did a purgecache. That deleted all but about 25 files from the folder. SFC did not appear to operate then, so I did sfc/scanonce and re-booted. The CD was...

Thanks for the reply, Linney. I followed the one link I hadn't seen before to no avail. I noticed the files in dllcache are compressed. Maybe that's why they don't compare? or are they always compressed? and that the dir has about 5000 (not 2700) files. Over 2000 are tmp files. They are all...

When I run SFC I am requested to insert the CD and all goes smoothly with "SFC completed successfully" in my event viewer upon conclusion. If I immediately run sfc again I am soon requested to insert the CD. Checking "cancel" and subsequently the event viewer indicates the same file(s) are...

micker377, Are you sure this is the right forum?

Thank you all for your help and patience. I rebuilt the original PC with the "GoBack" HD, went online and transferred about 100M of data files to another PC using Messenger. Then I "removed" GoBack in control panel, put it into the new PC and it works perfectly. End of problem. Bill

Freestone, I don't have any imaging software. I could probably re-assemble the old system and get it operational. I replaced it because of an intermittant MB failure. My new system doesn't have a floppy drive, though I could jury-rig one and copy Gb_prog.e to a floppy in safe mode. I already...

Freestone, I agree with your reasoning for keeping the thread in one place, and for selection of that place. Thanks.

Thanks for the replies. I realize this is a cross-post. bcastner suggested I post to this forum, and I have in hopes of getting more insight into the easiest and safest solution. Uninstalling GoBack is impossible with the drive in my new PC, except maybe uninstalling while in safe mode, but I...

FWIW: installing GoBack is not an option-------it was pre-installed on the old drive (in system) and was provided without any media.

Freestone, Does GoBack need to be removed (uninstalled?) or is disabling adequate?
