Searching for in the logs turns up some cases of annot verify component files for Microsoft-Windows-Security-Kerberoarch for turns up nothing. Not sure what to do now. My computer is a Dell XPS 15 Z

Windows 7(SP-1), 64Bit How do you force System File Checker to check the correct folder in Windows 7(SP-1), 64Bit
When I run SFC /SCANNOW to check system files regedit takes me to C:Windowssystem32> This check always completes successfully. No Problems.

System File Checker (sfc) has a few parameters that you can use when runing sfc:
Parameters
/scannow : Scans all protected system files immediately.
/scanonce : Scans all protected system files once.
/scanboot : Scans all protected system files every time the computer is restarted.
/revert : Returns the scan to its default operation.
/purgecache : Purges the Windows File Protection file cache and scans all protected system files immediately.
/cachesize=x : Sets the size, in MB, of the Windows File Protection file cache.
/? : Displays help at the command prompt.
What's the difference between the first two, /scannow and /scanonce?Does /scanonce wait until you reboot and then run one time?And while I'm asking about sfc, where is the "Windows File Protection file cache"?

1. At an elevated command prompt, type the following command, and then press ENTER:takeown /f Path_And_File_NameFor example, type takeown /f E:\windows\system32\jscript.dll.
2. Type the following command, and then press ENTER to grant administrators full access to the file:icacls Path_And_File_Name /GRANT ADMINISTRATORS:FFor example, type icacls E:\windows\system32\jscript.dll /grant administrators:F.
3. Type the following command to replace the file with a known good copy of the file:Copy Path_And_File_Name_Of_Source_File Path_And_File_Name_Of_DestinationFor example, type copy E:\temp\jscript.dll E:\windows\system32\jscript.dll.---Some of the corrupted are repeated which only adds to my confusion.Here's the actual sfcdetails.txt document if it helps understand my situation.edit: Here's a text of just the corruptions.

The problem started when I had three updates that would not install at shutdown. I tried to run check disk and system file checker which neither would run initiallyCheck disk runs now and says there are no problems. SFC says "Window Resource Protection could not perform the requested operation." As for Windows update, I have tried deleting the temp update files located atC:\Windows\SoftwareDistribution\DataStore and \Windows\SoftwareDistribution\Download. I have also tried to Resource readiness tool as well as Microsoft Fix It for windows update. The fix it tool says it finds errors and fixes them but the problem is not fixed. It shows up every time I run the tool. Since deleting the temp files, windows update just says "Windows could not search for new updates" with and error code of 80070002.I suspected a virus at first but was unable to find anything with a full scan of AVG and Malware Bytes. Guess that doesn't mean there is not one.

How to Repair Windows 7 System Files with System File Checker ?

the tip to run SFC -- I'm not sure where the 'command prompt' is now in Windows 7.
What I did was search for sfc, right click, then run as administrator.
It appears something is running, but no window opened to ask or tell me anything. I checked Task Mgr and Resource Monitor and can't find anything resembling SFC, but there is activity even tho' I'm not doing anything else. The hard drive light is also flickering about once per second. What should I expect? Do I just wait patiently? How can I confirm SFC is running and fixing any errors?

I had Windows Vista and I upgraded using the 'clean install' to Windows 7. I had been experiencing BSODs (blue screen of death) and I thought a re-install, or an upgrade would solve those issues. However, I continue getting those BSODs now with Windows 7 as well.I can't quite recall the stop errors and names, but they were mostly IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL. I also had 'memory management' sometimes.Recently I powered on my computer and realized everything was running slowly, and I've noticed the BSODs have stopped. I ran everything, anti- malware, virus, spyware programs and they found nothing. I ran memory diagnostics and it came up with nothing. There's nothing really on this computer to be slowing it down since I haven't fully replaced all my files and it's a new OS.The only thing that found anything out of place was after running SFC /scannow, the CBS.log file says this in several places:
[code]...
What I could understand from that is it's saying that a file, called msdrm.dll.mui, is corrupt. Apparently it's in the 'en-US' folder (assuming). It also says on the last line, 'file is missing'.Now, I've replaced from the actual Windows 7 installation CD, the file msdrm.dll.mui in the en-US folder, and in another folder that had the same file. After restarting, the computer still runs sluggishly.My question is, why would the system file still be corrupt even after replacing it from the installation CD? The CD is fine, no scratches or anything like that, and it's virtually new.Also, could my system be missing something that the file msdrm.dll.mui needs to function properly? (I ask this because it says 'file missing') What can I do about this system file to fix it?Note: I looked up the system file msdrm.dll.mui and I read that it's needed for system performance (and performance right now is my issue so I'm guessing this is what's making my computer run slugglishly).

My daughter has a Gateway laptop running Windows 7 Home Premium 64bit. We have 4gig RAM installed.The other day she tried to create a folder on the desktop. However, she was not able to do that and was also not able to click on any icon on the desktop at all.She restarted the computer and it seemed to fix itself. However, the next day it happened again.Does this sound like a corrupt system file or a virus? We have PC Tools Internet Security on her laptop and it says there are no viruses.Also, not sure if this is related, but the computer takes over 15 minutes to shut down. Actually, I don't know exactly how long it takes because after 15 minutes she gets frustrated and just holds down the power button to force it to shut down.There are no updates available - we have checked and it says there are none.

Just got all the parts yesterday, put i all together today, all is running fine.Just in case i'll post the components:
Gigabyte 990fx-ud3
Amd fx-8120
Gigabyte hd8950 OC
HyperX 2x4GB 1600Mhz
So i bought Windows 7 Home Premium from the same store i got this at (Webhallen, pretty much swedens largest component retailer) to replace the standard Home edition (which i got with my "old" packard bell!).
I have 2 HDDs, one from the packard bell (1tb) and one i recieved from a friend, a 320gb seagate. I ran with both in my packard bell for a while, using the 320gb for the system. It ran without any problems.So, i boot the CD, go through the setup and format the 320GB. (I also formatted some reserved space for OEM files from the Packard bell harddrive since i won't be using the packard bell any time soon).I proceed with the installation.The copying of the files goes very quick and when it reaches the expanding of files it takes ages before it finally comes to the error:Windows cannot install required files. The file may be corrupt or missing. Make sure all files required for installation are available, and restart the installation. Error code: 0x80070017.Immedieatly i whipped up the laptop and googled it, trying the different "sollutions" to no avail, like simply trying to install again without rebooting, taking out a RAM stick and only running with one in the master slot, taking out all excess Harddrives etc etc. i also ran Memtest86, clean, no errors!
I tried install Ubuntu on it, but that didn't go well either. It loaded for ages and then i got a very strange horizontal black and white striped screen, the black stripes being jagged and pixelated.I found my old windows 7 home cd from my packard bell and tried installing with that one. Same result, Error code: 0x80070017.

I am using Windows 7 Professional SP1 32 bit on a desktop machine. I run ESET NOD32 Anti-virus 5.0 and Comodo Free Firewall in the background. I do a weekly manual scan with Malwarebytes Anti-Malware and Super AntiSpyware. Malwarebytes has never detected a threat and Super AntiSpyware detects about 130 threats each week. My start up folder has 5 programs that start up and run in the background. Recently the machine has become very sluggish, some programs take a very long time to open and when I am using various programs they sometimes stop responding but sometimes they recover by themselves if I wait long enough.A couple of days ago I ran sfc /scannow from an elevated command prompt. After it ran it said that it could not fix several corrupted Windows files. I looked in the log file and I didn't understand what I was reading and I couldn't tell which files were corrupt or how to fix them. I ran sfc /scannow a total of 3 times rebooting after each time and each time it told me it could not fix several corrupted Windows files.
I was surprised that when I ran sfc /scannow that it did not ask me to insert the Windows 7 installation CD so it could replace the corrupted files. When I would run sfc /scannow on my Windows XP Pro machines I always had to insert the XP installation CD so it could copy files from the CD into the machine.Today I booted the machine with the Windows install CD and selected "Repair". The "System Recovery Options" screen appeared. My choices were:
- Startup repair
- System restore to an earlier point in time
- System image recovery
- Windows memory diagnostics
- Command prompt
The machine starts up OK so there were no choices that apply to repairing Windows. When I was running XP Pro the system disk would actually do a repair action.I am thinking that the cause of the sluggish, some programs taking a very long time to open and various programs sometimes stop responding may be caused because of the corrupt Windows file sfc /scannow couldn't fix.Is there a way to replace the corrupt Windows 7 corrupt files that sfc /scannow says it cannot fix? The other option is to do a complete clean install of Windows from scratch. Not too much fun as I will have re-install all of my software and re-option everything.

I just built a new computer and I installed windows 7 and it worked fine all day.I shut it down the next morning before going to work and when i got home later i got tons of messages about processes not working and system files being corrupted. It wouldnt even stay turned on for long. I later reformatted and installed windows xp, it worked fine all weekend but when i turned it off before going to work on monday and came home later i got the same problem.I did several restarts while it was working and nothing bad happened, but when it was off for a long period it screwed it up on both operating systems.

"windows 7 setup.exe corrupt file the file or directory is corrupt"I'm trying to install 7 32bit OEM Home Premium with the legit bought holographic CD (not a burned image of any kind) onto a Gateway laptop with a brand new hard drive.I was getting this error installing the OS the regular way booting to the cd and installing from it, so instead I copied the contents of the cd to a freshly quick formatted NTFS partition on the new laptop hard drive, then used bootsect and diskpart to setup the disk. It boots just fine and also gets the same error installing straight from the hard drive.

System Wide spell checker? Does Win 7 have a system wide spell checker, something that will highlight all misspelled words with red underlining, then allow you to right-click on it to select the correct spelling? My win 7 was doing it for a while now it has stopped?

For what ever reason, I have a file on my 1TB WDC drive:
D:usersuser_namedocumentsxxxxx.pdf
that upon trying to open it, I receive a message that the file is corrupt.I have looked high and low trying to find a way to DELETE this file, but to no avail. There's lot of references about running CHKDSK to check the drive, running FSUTIL to query the dirty bit (which is set on this drive, because of this file), and using CHKDSK to clear the dirty-bit. And, I tried them all. This, however, is NOT a hard drive issue. The drive is fine. It's the file structure that is in error. I just need a solution that will let me DELETE the file. I don't want recover it.
1. Use Paragon-Software Hard Disk Manager 12 to copy the hard drive to another drive. The second drive is large enough to hold all the data from the larger drive.
2. Check the file on the drive copy... (yep, it's there... yep, it's corrupt... yep, the dirty-bit is on)
3. Create a filter in Paragon-Software HDM12 for that specific file.
4. Run the disk copy again using the filter.
5. Check the file on the drive copy... (this time the file is not there and the dirty bit is not set)
Having done this, I think I'm ready to copy the hard drive back. I just haven't pulled the trigger. I want to recable the drives to use the copy just to make sure I can reach everything. Then, I'll pull the trigger.

I installed cuipid a program that monitors,memory,CPU,etc. on Win 7. I used the PC aftyer that for a couple of hours.I shut doem,the next day I booted up went in to Windows 7(set as Default). It was fine.I resarted and arrowed to Vista to boot into Vista.
I got a Black sctreen saying: Windows failed to start. Hardware or software change may be the problem. I went into 7 and restored the system back to before I installed Cuipid,No Luck.
The screen that comes up when I try to boot into Vista says:
1 Insert windows Disk and restart.
2.Choose your choose your language and click next.
3. Click repair your PC./
I tried a repair on Vista and &.
On the page I also get error: File/windows/system/32/Winload exe.
Status: Qxc000000F
then selected entry could not be loaded because the application is missing or corrupt.
I know there is a way to restore the Boot manager from Cmd??
I would appreciate it if anyone could advise me how to restore the Boot Sector.
I have 2 hard drives both partitioned.

This file is like a ghost, its not on my hardrive and there's nothing in it, its just sitting in my library in my pictures section. The file location is C:UsersStevenPictures, and the file name is 50292_132656813424_564_q. Like i said this file is like invincible to everything i throw at it. Ive tried unlocker and renaming it and also tried using CMD commands to try and delete it but my computer cant find it.

Last night, my computer rebooted itself unexpectedly while I was accessing a Word document. I was constantly saving the document, so I expected that it would come back up when the computer rebooted. Every time I try to open it in Word, it says that the file is corrupt and cannot be read. I have tried the Open & Repair function. I have also tried the Extract Text from All Files function. When I did the latter, the document came up to about 1,000 pages worth of different codes. When I open it in WordPad, the most recent things I saved did not come up. I am absolutely sure that I saved what I was working on. Is there any way I can fix this corrupt file? It is a crucial part of an assignment.

There is one specific folder in the Documents library, which when opened directly (like from a shortcut on the dekstop) only shows "corrupted" files with unusable strings for all file names and extensions.However, when opened in tree view, the files appear as they should. So at least it's reassuring that the folder contents are still there and can properly be read and changed. But the issue is still inconvenient and worrisome.I have already tried chkdsk /f on the partition and even mirrored the whole volume to a new harddrive, but that didn't help. I also tried copying the whole folder to another location, it shows up just fine that way as well.
