My daughter's Win 7 computer does not have any sfc files in the Win/System32 fiolder.

Can I copy my three files and install them on her computer?

Are you saying that her files that are missing/corrupted can not be retrieved using SFC File checker steps ?

The files that should be in c/Win/Sys32 folder are missing. I have them and can copy them to a flash drive and then copy and paste them into her folder. Will this work? I don't want to mess up anything.

Am I to understand that this is my only option? I can't copy and paste the three files from my Win/Sys32 folder and paste to hers?

Well, that is the preferred way, you may want to make a restore pt and give it a shot..

Post back after you do that. You should , if done correctly , get a no integrity violations on a SFC scannow. So, let us know how doing it your way worked out.
