where do i find this "run textbox?" how do i "Go to Run... in the Start
menu. Enter this command: sfc /scannow"? where is "run"? i hope this is an
easy answer for y'all, it sure confuses me, esp as i used to be able to do it
before vista.

thank you for your help and i hope you get a good chuckle ;)
