Can't Get sfc /scannow to complete

Published on January 7, 2012 By BigDogBigFeet In Personal Computing

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.

Gotcha .............

That file is longer than I am tall. Sheesh! Mostly what I got was a lot of files moved around. This damn thing moves so fast I was actually seeing entries made dozens of times a second! and that was just the repair end. The other part was ignoring ownership on system files, a lot of them. Beats the hell out of me what all that means.
