Ted, The System File Checker has been around in one form or another since Windows 98. Generally referred to as sfc /scannow, or sfc.exe, the following Microsoft article explains how to use the utility in Windows versions Vista and later:

If you are running XP or earlier, then you can do a web search for the instructions on how to perform this action in your particular version of Windows.

When you started the scan, did you get any sort of report that it was running? It should have said "Beginning system scan, then entered the verification phase, counting off the progress as it went along. At the end, you should have gotten a report on the rsults of the scan, telling if there were any corruptions found and if they were repaired or not.

Tom, did you get anything on screen at all? If you did, you're one up on me.

I ran the error scan: "sfc /scannow" . I did not get a status report at the completion of the scan however. Might it have created a log somewhere? Tom
