Revert msconfig.

1 - Elevated Command prompt: chkdsk C: /F /R

No errors:

2 - Boot to Win 7 disk. Repair Computer / Command Prompt: sfc /scannow.

You both sound like you have NetFramework problems.

okay thx Yrag.

Well I ran the Repair tool.  It said found no errors.  I'll run a chkdsk tonight since it has been 6 mos or so since the last one.

Thanks for all your help Yrag.  I'm now wondering if a recent update from MS is causing this.

You know what it related to, right?

That was only a precursor to running sfc via disk. If sfc ran, it's not necessary unless you feel the 'need' to.....

Well I do remember MS had an emergency security update over the Holidays Framework too.

I'm thinking since the rapair tool can find no problems that just to be safe I can run a chkdsk over night its been 6 months since the last one.

LMAO......

I had a fuckin' flashback...... Confessional???

last one what lol

last one.. last night they all just seem to blur together.

.....that's why mine was a flashback. I remember it being "last night" too....just can't place what year it was.

alright BigDogBigFeet, say 8 Hail Marys' and I'll see you at Mass on Sunday, and don't wait so long next time for a Confessional. Now go in peace. .....

Please read this:

The problem is the first fix (work around, actually) MS put out for the "Duqu" virus/Trojan.

If you installed the first one, go to http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2639417

and disable it. Then run your sfc /scannow. Offline. then re enable it. Bet that solves your problem. That's what happened to me.

You might have to roll back part of Security Update MS11-100 but don't do that until you try what I suggested re the duqu fix.

If after reversing MS's first Duqu fix you still can't run  sfc /scannow, research MS11-100 to find out if a 'duqu' fix was in there, or if it caused a denial of access to system files. If it did,  sfc  /scannow won't run. You can probably roll that one specific update back, but only do so when disconnected from the net. 

Research that possibilty here: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/security/bulletin/ms11-100

However, reinstall it after you finish. It's that important.

I've had the same quirk for a couple of months regarding sfc /scannow. Isn't this the same scan and repair as the chkdsk option on the HDD? The one that starts on a reboot.

No. sfc /scannow deals with windows system files only and repairs any integrity violations.

chkdsk does only that.  chkdsk /f /r scans for sector as well as file integrity, indexing, etc. repairs errors and is a 5 part scan (if i remember correctly) takes one helluva long time as well.

Hi Doc I downloaded the 2 Fixit msi files but haven't run them yet.  I'll pull my wireless usb device out before doing that.  I was wondering though after I ran chkdsk last night does it create a report anywhere telling me what it found?

Yo, BDBF. I'm really sure the problem came from that fix.

The logs should be in your cbs logs.
