A Quick Fix for Vista Problems

Does Windows Vista seem sluggish to you? The slowdown could be caused by any number of things, but there’s an easy way to cross a few off your list: Run the built-in System File Checker, which scans through all the bits and pieces of Windows Vista to make sure they’re in the right place. If it finds a corrupt or missing file, the utility will repair it for you, too. There’s no user interface to the tool, however, so to launch it you’ll have to resort to the Command Prompt.

In the Start menu, type command, then right-click on Command Prompt and choose Run as Administrator. When the command prompt opens up, type SFC /scannow to start the file checker.
