System errors ever?

Mark W. Kaelin 16th Nov 2010

At the risk of jinxing myself, I have not had any system errors in a very, very long time. Have you? How did you repair the corrupted files?

I sometimes wear a low-end tech-support hat. In assisting clients with running certain software, there are times when the software will not run under a particular user account (even if an administrator). The tried/true solution for this is to create another account and run the software from there. Obviously not an optimum solution.

Will this repair corrupt account permissions?

If not, what will?

Quick tip

Mark W. Kaelin 17th Nov 2010

One drawback of a quick tip is that we don't get to go into all of the details. It sounds like you have more than a basic corrupt file.

Hmm.

Raymond Danner 29th Dec 2010

From the large number of references to the Sidebar's Settings.ini file, I suspect that is the problem. Try renaming the file and have Sidebar recreate it.

corrupted files

darkstate 17th Nov 2010

Have you tried the command string

findstr /C:"[SR] Cannot repair member file" %windir%\logs\cbs\cbs.log >sfcdetails.txt

This will show you the corrupt files that it found
Make sure you go to the directory
%windir%\logs\cbs\cbs.log >sfcdetails.txt
when its done to see the results.

SFC /scannow corrupted Win 7 64bit machine

ghbgiest@... 18th Nov 2010

I have a 64bit Windows 7 Professional running on a Intel Core 2 Duo 64 bit machine.
I loaded some bad USB drivers from card reader. So I used SFC /scannow and only fixed a few at a time; so I ran it multiple(25 or so)times. Made the system worse; didn't fix the USB. Finally I had to "upgrade" reinstall Windows 7; that fixed everything.

How to read the log?

jonc2011 Updated - 18th Nov 2010

My Win7/64 system found errors:
"Windows Resource Protection found corrupt files and successfully repaired then. Details are included in C:\Windows\Logs\CBS\CBS.log"
But access to this file is denied, even when I gain full permissions. Ideas anyone?

ANSWER - (in a post below - thanks), is to run Notepad as administrator, then open the log file. However, unless you're a techie, it won't tell you very much. My log file is 8MB. So far no detectable change in computer performance (+ or -).

This may be quicker for some users... to quickly run as administrator, say for CMD follow the steps above until the right-click... instead of doing that ctrl-Shift then enter. this will run as administrator... little tip I learned working for HP..."now right click...no RIGHT click ... That would be the button on the RIGHT...never mind pres CTRL-SHIFT then while holding those down, press enter... it worked? great..."

System File Checker = SFC

dleippe@... 28th Dec 2010

Once you get to a command prompt with administrative privileges type "sfc /scannow" and be prepared to have your installer disk for XP, Vista, or Windows 7. XP has always prompted me for the disk. So far Windows 7 hasn't required the disk.

Scannow for xp

darkstate 18th Nov 2010

Yes this is available for XP but its a bit more complicated, you will need the xp disc so it can compare the contents of the I386 folder on the disc with the XP system files.

The way I did it was like this.
Use your xp cdrom - and copy I386 directory to C:\Documents and Settings\Your user name\My Documents\XP (Or anywhere on your PC)
- modify HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Setup\ SourcePath=C:\Documents and Settings\Your user name\My Documents\XP (This points sfc /scannow.exe to the i386 file you just copied)
Run sfc /scannow.exe. (Run windows update right after sfc has completed running to make sure you get the latest hotfixes.)

Also make sure the disc is the same service pack otherwise it won't work and will kill your pc. Also do this at your own risk.
This worked for me many times when i was new to XP many years ago and worked fine for a friend.
Goodluck

How strange

BeyondITall 18th Nov 2010

Does anyone else think it is strange that you would need administrative permissions to read a system log file? Why is such an elevated permission needed in the first place? These are, afterall, log files. Is there some malware that is jacking with the log files and giving false readings to the end user as a result? Should that be the case, then you have more concerns than just a log file.

The way I do it

darkstate 18th Nov 2010

To run and then see the results of scannow.

To verify and fix an error in windows 7, open a elevated command prompt and type
sfc /SCANNOW

To see what couldn't be fixed if it show's an error .
Next look to see what wasn't fixed by typing

findstr /C:"[SR] Cannot repair member file" %windir%\logs\cbs\cbs.log >sfcdetails.txt

then

%windir%\system32\Sfcdetails.txt

For a more detailed description and even taking ownership of a denied access file.

Yes, I understand

BeyondITall 19th Nov 2010

that aspect of using the system file checker and how to get a report. What I do not understand is why you would need to view this file with administrative rights. What is Microsoft's purpose of doing this? This is, afterall, only a report.

Once the log file is open...

paul.viacrucis@... 19th Nov 2010

So I opened the CBS.log file with Notepad++ running as admin. When you do, be prepared for lots of code to look at. My log file was over 32,000 lines long!
You can bet I'm not going to go down there and try to figure out what was fixed. Suffice it to say I will just accept the message that my corruption(s) were fixed according to the results message I received from the command line.

How do I get "Run as Admin" choice for command?

billfranke@... Updated - 18th Nov 2010

How do I get the "Run as Admin" choice? I followed the steps provided, but when I right-clicked, I was no "run as administrator" option to click. When I right-click on other programs, however, that choice appears. I took ownership of the command prompt, but that changed nothing. I tried to run sfc/scannow, but I was told that I needed admin privileges to do that. I am the only user of this desktop PC and my account clearly says that I am an administrator. Why am I locked out and how can I change this? [Edit: I'm running Win7 Home Premium 64-bit English on my own home network.]

Another way

to get to the command prompt is to go to Start menu, All Programs, Accessories, and then right-click on the Command Prompt and you should see the Run as Administrator.

RE: Quick Tip: Scan Windows 7 System Files to repair errors

Texas.Ex@... 19th Nov 2010

Does anyone know what to do if SFC won't run at all? I get the message "Windows Resource Protection could not start the repair service."

I'm running Windows 7 Home Premium, 64-bit.

Thanks in advance.

Having same issue in Vista

callupchuck 10th Jan 2011

I also get the message "Windows Resource Protection could not start the repair service."

I'm running Vista home premium 32-bit. The system will not boot except to a Vista repair disc.

I have removed several infections from the drive by scanning it remotely, but am still unable to get it to boot on it's own.

I have an "spdcmdcon.sys" error and no scan will work. This malware is blocking all before it comes to a blue screen saying I have to do this and that wich does not work either. So much for scans. I even tried to bypass with a USB nada

MMM thats odd

I'm presuming you are doing this as admin?
If you are using cmd make sure you right click and run as administrator.
Here's some info about the error you are getting and what it is in respect to the os.

I'm on win 7 ultimate and it works fine for me using either a cmd or a bat file run as admin.

Windows 7 and still DOS?

jd@... 25th Mar 2011

I'm having trouble understanding why after all these years when you want to do anything other than run a program we still have to go to DOS! I mean get real - I think everything we do from a command prompt should be available as a tool in accessories by now.

[I'm having trouble understanding why after all these years when you want to do anything other than run a program we still have to go to DOS!]

Most computers be it mainframe, mini or micro work at roughly the DOS level and lower (read machine language). Do not be foiled by the pretty screen mouse etc. for the most part that is sizzle and little if any steak.

Can anyone one tell me what this is or how it got on my computer? I cannot even enter "command prompt" without a popup telling me to buy this overpriced system and will not allow me to use the computer systems for 150 seconds. I cannot enter a command prompt because this popup re-appears when I try to re-enter. I cannot even turn off the computer till after to 150 second time frame. This popup takes total control of the computer. Have no idea where it came from.... Below is the website and I have recieved no replys when I have tried to contact them..... Can anyone help me here? http://www.contextmenu.net/register_windows_explorer_shell_context_menu.html
