@ thani and astrid

It often helps to run SFC from Safe Mode.

@ beerslayer,
It’s highly unlikely to make things worse. It’s very likely to improve things. System Restore is a last ditch resort which is great if it works. In my experience the more dire the need the less likely it is to work.

I avoid all these problems by using imagaing software.

What I want to know, before trying any of this, is whether the ’sfc /scannow’ command can be UNdone by running a System Restore. My 64-bit Vista OS is a house of cards right now and I’m terrified of making it worse. I’d like to see if this command could help stabilize it a bit but I want to be sure I can undo whatever it does if it makes things worse.

Stimpy,

Don’t get upset at Microsoft, just hit the F11 key when your computer is booting. You will access a very nice recovery program that HP has put on your system. They have a non-destructive recovery option that will reinstall all your system files but won’t delete any of your data. All you will need to do is reinstall any programs you have put on since you got the computer.

Me too, I really had no idea about the preloaded programme business, I did not expect to have to buy Vista twice, I regret buying it once!

I’m so disappointed with Vista Home Premium. I’m running the 64 bit. I’ve had problems with Windows Installer and I can’t open my word documents, iTunes, and a number of other programs. Apparently Windows Installer has corrupted. I’ve tried asking Microsoft for help but all I get told is reinstall Vista from a CD or DVD. Trouble is, my HP desktop PC came preloaded and I am getting nowhere fast with both HP and Microsoft, just instructions to buy or borrow a either a Windows Vista Disc or from a recovery disc. I’ve seen quite a few problems like mine posted in various forums, one of them had a very sarky answer from someone who said he is a a microsoft engineer saying it wasn’t his fault if the person with the problem couldn’t borrow a Windows Vista CD!! Way to go Microsoft!! Customer service obviously is a high priority with you.

Vista is the issue, has many issues that do not exist in other MS OS. Sorry as sorry can be that I went for it. Vista Home Premium
