If you're concerned of corrupted system files, you can run
the System File Checker to repair and/or replace any bad
files.
You'll need the original install CD.
Go to START > RUN > type CMD and press [ENTER]
Now you'll be in command line window.
At the waiting prompt, type:
SFC /SCANNOW
and hit [ENTER]
That should fix any bad files you may have.
