I am downloading the repair disc

I tried the fixit tool but it saays it cannot repair the service because norton firewall is installed


I just tried sfc/scan again but it came with no errors

sfc/scannow ..no errors... great!
uninstall norton, reboot and run fixit again

I did the windows 7 repair option and now all the services and my computer is working perfectly, thank you so much for your help, I appreciate it greatly.

Did you do a repair install? If so:

   Tip

ITEMS THAT WILL BE RESET TO DEFAULT OR AFFECTED:

• Sounds
• Services
• Visual Effects Settings
• Device Drivers - Be sure to have these handy to reinstall. They do not always remain after the repair (upgrade) install.
• You may lose the ability to sign on to MSN Messenger, to solve this problem have a look at this thread Unable to sign in to WLM.
• You may lose your custom themes due to not having permisions set on the old themes. Go to the hidden themes folder at C:/Users/(User-Name)/AppData/Local/Microsoft/Windows/Themes, then Take Ownership of the themes folder and you will now have all your themes back.
• It has been reported that you may also lose your Media Center gadget after doing the repair install.
• Windows Updates will need to be checked and reinstalled again.

the restore went fine, i got an error saying net framework was corrupt and it auto repaired itself, now I did a windows update and installed 59 updates at once and for a half an hour the screen has been at windows is shutting down

net framework was corrupt and it auto repaired itself... can be... don't know.

Updates installed succesfully as it seems? then it asked you to shutdown. Still shutting down?
disk activity? animation on screen?

Yes it shows the moving circle

Still busy? Disk activity?

Did you see "configuring 10%, 20%" or something like that on shutdown of just before shutdown? If so... did it complete to 100%?
