Ah well at least I know that's why it messed up.
Okay, so I went through some steps on the sfc/scannow thing and got to the very bottom of the instructions and I had no idea what path and filename to type in? Not sure if that makes sense. I didn't know what "path and filename" needed to be replaced. I read through the list of 3 files that couldn't be fixed but it didn't say which path or filename they were in!?
Anyway, the computer was custom made by an acquintance of mine so I do not have the vista disc but I guess I will have to give him the computer to re-install it. Oy..
