What I was trying to ask, was what kind of file was it. I've now found 
out it belongs in the System 32 folder, its now been replaced and 
everything works fine.
I don't use my PC seriously enough to know the ins and outs of every 
folder, only really for playing games, watching DVDs and emails etc.
