About a month ago, I downloaded this game called BINARY
from natomic.com, it was a simple little Nintendo style
game, but it somehow changed some important files.
Whenever I restart my computer, and i log in, a message
displays saying that some files have been changed, and it
asks me to insert the Windows XP CD so the computer can
restore the original files. XP came with my comp, so I
don't have the CD. The file changes weren't big enough to
do much damage, because I haven't noticed anything wrong.
But, I just bought a game, and the game required that I
install Direct X 9.0b. It tried but then a message came
up saying that Direct X didn't pass the security test for
XP. I thought this strange, but was sure it was the fault
of the changed files. I then downloaded Direct X 9.0b
directly from Microsoft.com. It tried to install but the
same prompt came up telling me that the download files
didn't pass the security test. I'm sure that if I
repaired the files, that I would be able to install
direct x 9.0b, but I don't have a CD. Does anyone know a
way to restore the files without an XP CD?
