I am having the sfc_os.dll error coming up when I load Itunes. I found a few
sfc files in my windows32 file
1st is sfc.dll
2nd is sfc
3rd is sfc_os.dll

I also have a sfc_os.dll file in the path c:users\Chuck\downloads\sfc_os.dll

Are all of these conflicting and causing the error.
I hesitate to remove any as I don't want to crash my computer. Anyone have
an answer and how do I fix it.

Hi, Chuck.

First: Which version of Vista are you running? Home Basic? Vista Ultimate
x64 - or something in between?

I really think that your ITunes problem is somewhere else and that you are
chasing a bum steer.

> sfc files in my windows32 file


Would that be the C:\Windows\system32 FOLDER? Not file. That folder holds
the heart of Vista, so don't mess with it unless you know what you are
doing - and why.

Those three files (sfc.dll, sfc.exe and sfc_os.dll) are all part of Vista
and should not be touched. (You probably don't have Folder Options set to
show extensions for known file types; that's why you don't see the .exe in
sfc.exe.)

> I also have a sfc_os.dll file in the path
> c:users\Chuck\downloads\sfc_os.dll


That would be C:\Users\Chuck\downloads\sfc_os.dll

Could you please give more details about that file. How did you get it?
From where did you download it?
What is its size and date?

My copy of Vista Ultimate x86 has these 3 files:
09/16/2007 08:21 PM 4,608 sfc.dll
09/16/2007 08:16 PM 15,872 sfc.exe
09/16/2007 08:21 PM 38,912 sfc_os.dll
3 File(s) 59,392 bytes

Are your files the same dates and sizes?
