Can't get scf /scannow to work
My PC has been getting very slow lately. Have tried all the usual fixes but effect only marginal. Came across scf /scannow thinking that I may have a corrupted system file. Followed instructions to the letter but cannot get scannow to even start. Making sure I am the administrator I key in sfc /scannow from the Start command box and just for a split second the normal black command box comes up on screen and then disappears again. Any ideas? I've looked everywhere online and tried every tip but to no avail. Virus checks all ok.
Am using a Dell Inspiron Win 7 x 64 Running Microsoft Essentials as security.
Thanks folks in anticipation
