Locate c:\windows\inf\pchealth.inf, right click and choose to Install. You may be prompted to enter your XP installation CD as it looks for the installation files. The files are on your XP installation CD or already on your system from the original installation, you just need to tell the installation where to look. If you don't have an XP installation CD, change the Copy file from dialogue (by clicking the Browse and Retry buttons) to point to the appropriate folder for each requested files: dataspec.xml (c:\windows\servicepackfiles\i386) pchdt_w3.cab (c:\windows\pchealth\helpctr\binaries) HCAppRes.dll (c:\windows\pchealth\helpctr\binaries) atrace.dll (c:\windows\system32) Reboot your system to be sure the installation is complete.

The install apparently did all of its busy work, and then - what? Am I benefited in some way? Some unhelpful posters in xp basic led me to this action, installing. What now? -- RobF |
