System File Checker cannot check the following folder:

I really don't know. But, taking the message at it's word, perhaps it is
a job for Scandisk. I must warn that Scandisk may not do a great job
when there is a great one to do...
http://cquirke.mvps.org/9x/scandisk.htm

Therefore, perhaps UNcheck "Automatically fix errors" on it's front
screen. It will then ask whether you want each fixed. If it sounds truly
horrible, say "No!", and post the log. The log will be
"C:\Scandisk.log".

1. Turn off screen saver (R-Clk Desktop, Properties, Screen Saver--
None)
2. Turn off power management (Control Panel, Power Management-- Always
On,Never,Never,Never)
3. Disable any permanent internet cable connection, perhaps.
4. Suspend Task Scheduler
5. Turn off interfering programs. Use "StartupCop" or "EndItAll2" from
PCMag (below). Or "START, Run, MSConfig, Startup tab". Note what is
unchecked. Then, go to the General tab & disable the entire Startup
Group, by clicking "Selective.." & unchecking "Load Startup...". Reboot.
Don't forget to re-enable before the next boot.
6. Use "HDValet" from PCMag, or
(a) "Control Panel, Internet Options, Delete Files button, bolt Delete
all offline content, OK, OK"
(b) "START, Run, %TEMP%", & delete all files that will let you. This
will likely be "C:\Windows\Temp". This is best done after a fresh boot,
unless you have not seen the message "Reboot to complete this install".
7. Run Scandisk (Thorough, usually w/o write testing. Check all three
items under "Scandisk, Advanced button, 'Check files for' box". If you
want to be informed as it does a fix, UNcheck "Automatically fix errors"
on the front screen, or look inside "C:\Scandisk.log" afterwards.)
8. "START, Run, Defrag /p /details". Apparently, "/p" Defrags the
unmovables.

The purpose of steps 1-5 is only to prevent constant restarts of
Scandisk & Defrag, if you get them; but DEFINITELY turn off the Virus
Scanner. Scandisk should be done perhaps once a month, and certainly
after every serious crash. Do a Defrag after a sluggish boot or when
this says so:
http://www.pcmag.com/ 's CrackUp, by Gregory A. Wolking & Bob Flanders.
Also, take DiskAction, to determine what is constantly writing to the
HDD, which causes the restarts. Take BHOCop & StartupCop too.

"DiskAction" reports the last 12 processes that access any partition. It
discovered the MS Critical Update Notification Tool was accessing my
HDD every five minutes. It can be uninstalled in "Control Panel,
Add/Remove Programs". Then, occasionally, "START, Windows Update" on
your own.

"BHOCop" found a Browser Helper Object called Wavehelper Class, created
by "Wavetop", that was building a monstrosity of an error log called
"Logit.txt" in here. "START, Find, F/F, Logit.txt"-- see one?

Now, my hard drive is quieter than my mouse. (Of course, I now also have
384 MB RAM, up from an initial 64, eliminating Swap File activity.)

Start System File Checker, click "Settings", then "Search Criteria". =20
Look in the "Folder" box and see if any of the following are set to
include subfolders:

C:\windows
C:\windows\java
C:\windows\java\packages

If you find one, highlight it, click the "Include Subfolders" box, =
confirm the
change, but click "No" to keeping the information. Then click "Apply".
You can restore the subfolder setting to the folder if you wish to keep
checking it.

H,
I tried your links. Even installed the latest version of Java (and verified that it was running properly), but it did not resolve my System File Checker problem. Oh, and I did verify that the particular file is a "zip" file.

What is peculiar is that in the past, if there was a bad file, it would let me skip it (work around it) and continue with the checking process. This particular problem shuts it right down and only gives me a choice to Retry or Cancel. If I Retry, nothing chages.

Now that I have Sun's actual Java program system on my machine, can I eliminate the original MS version?
Thanks for your help!

The only suggestion I have noted over the past many months is
'leave' the old MS Java files alone even though they are no
longer used by the system. Removing them is an unnecessary risk
like cleaning out system files you 'think' are no longer needed.
