DISQUS

I remember XP used to perform a system file check during a reboot as well (to schedule a file scan before Windows boots up). Is there a way to do that with Vista?

What if I only have recovery disks - HP doesn't provide Windows CDs - you make your own recovery disks? Should I still run system file checker?

when all else fails :D

(running vista32 home premium on a vaio laptop)

sorry to say, I was careless and got a virus. a nasty one - couldn't open my task manager, not even in safe mode. when I tried opening it (in several various ways), all I got was a dead icon of the task manager in the taskbar, next to the watch. and by dead, I mean it didn't even show the CPU usage like it did.

so: I tried bitdefender - found my computer to be clean. I tried also stinger from mcafee - cute little fellow, said the same thing about my computer. I then tried malwarebytes - same result.

I tried booting into safe mode... there, nothing worked, just about anything I tried led to my PC to stall indefinitely.

after all this, I ran from link to link into this one. ran the "sfc /scannow" command in safe mode and after restarting, my computer was noticeably faster than before :) but the task manager still didn't run.

the last thing I did after this was a system restore to a point earlier in the day. this definitely solved my problem, and now I'm running "sfc /scannow" to speed up my pc again :)

In the end it says:
Windows Resource Protection found corrupt files but was unable to fix some of them. Details are included in the CBS.Log windir\Logs\CBS\CBS.Log....

Didn't ask for any windows cd/dvd.
What should the next step be?

- Thank you very much.

- passerby - copy everything to DVD and reinstall the OS - shouldn't take longer than few hours - and nothing's better than a fresh OS...

My computer came with Vista, how can I put the CD or DVD in if it asks?
