A little personal place for me and everyone who stops by to hang out.

I'm looking for some pointers to get sfc to complete a scan. 

It runs the Verification phase to 16% the aborts with:

"Windows Resource Protection could not perform the requested operation"

I've tried disabling alot of startup programs but not all.  I searched and found MS Help topic stating make sure Windows Moduler Installer is running and it is.  I also tried turning off UAC.

So far no soap.

I'm running Windows 7 Home Premium 64

Any pointers.

Well I found it Notepad can't open it.  Access is denied.  So what's the next hoop I have to jump through.

did you "unfix" then run sfc /scannow?

Not yet I was trying to read the CBS log.  I had to copy it first and read the copy.  The original is locked.  It should stay that way.  It was useless for me to try and read it.

I'll try the fix now offline.

Sorry, double post.

Okay SFC /scannow ran and found some stuff to repair.  Nothing changed though in any visible way.  Ran the enable fixit went online and thanks at least I know now that to run SFC I will have to disable that access deny lock on the system font dll.

I discovered another way to fix it that worked for me. I used the takecontrol.reg which I already had installed and took control of the system 32 folder. Now I can run sfc without issue.

JC, do you have the MS patch mentioned in #26 installed? 

on Jan 07, 2012

Yes Doc but even after I disabled it I still could not run sfc. Would only verify to 7%. Once I took ownership of my system files I ran and completed sfc. It found some corrupt files to.

I ran the sfc /scannow to completion but the window vanished after it finished. How do I find out if it found anything.

Look in the log. (cbs file). Type "logs" w/o the quotes in the search box in your Start Menu.

They're in Java Script and Windows can't read it.

Use notepad to open Uvah.

on Jan 07, 2012

c:\windows\logs\cbs\cbs.txt

copy that file to somewhere in My Documents and it will open in Notepad.
