When sfc completes, please copy and post here all the output from the command prompt.
I've just done this. It ran the scan but finished with nothing in the command prompt. Here's a copy and paste in any case:

Microsoft Windows XP [Version 5.1.2600]

C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator>sfc /scannow

C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator>

I forgot to close Chrome whilst the test ran. I didn't use it, but it was open. Would that make any kind of difference?
