yes, I also checked the sfc /scannow command in Vista Home Basic.A window just flashed briefly and disappeared and nothing more happened.(In XP however it asked for the CD and when fed with, started the check.But one queer thing was that it will again and again ask for the CD every one or two minutes and I had to sit before the monitor and click on try again.It took about 15 to 20 minutes for the check to complete and at the end of it the check window with the progress bar just disappeared without any message.Does it mean that everything was OK or has it repaired any corrupt files silently? ----- I do not know.Of course I do not have any problems but just tried the Command to check what happens)
As for Codeash's problem of non-recognition of USB devices is concerned I do not think it has anything to do with the Windows update settings.Codeash has not confirmed whether Universal Serial Bus Controller is present in the Device manager or not.Did you ever change anything in the POLICIES? I am just shooting in the dark
