I got this message 'user.exe maybe corrupt' when doing the SYSTEM FILE CHECKER'. I'm not sure what to do next. Can someone walk me thru this. (WINDOWS 98)
If the computer is working correctly, do NOT replace the file. Just check the ingore box.
C:\windows\system is the directory for the "user.exe" file.
To use SFC to replace a file click on "OK" when it identifies a file. follow the directions. You have to brouse to the direcrory where the new file is located and allow the program replace the file.

f SFC tells you that you have a corrupt USER.exe file DO NOT RESTORE Instead choose Update. SFC has a bad bug in its program regarding this file and will grab the first file it finds of equal size from the cd and will rename that file to User.exe and you won't be able to reboot the computer.
