    What are the errors? Does it crash?

    Run a virus check (Here is Microsoft's virus scanner).

    If the Windows is on C: and running, windows will not allow you to run CHKDSK on C:. It will give a message saying that it can reschedule a disk check before the next reboot.

    All you have to do after giving the CHKDSK command for C: is to accept the reschedule message and reboot. The system while rebooting runs the CHKDSK and will fix any errors it finds and then reboots the system to the desktop.

    If the disc check error 766f6c756d652e63 3f1 comes see this page for remedy.

    You can also do a SFC/ SCANNOW at elevated command prompt (right click on command prompt at Start - All Programs - Accessories and Run as administrator).

    Microsoft Windows [Version 6.1.7601]

    C:\Windows\system32>SFC/ SCANNOW

    Microsoft (R) Windows (R) Resource Checker Version 6.0
    Copyright (c) 2006 Microsoft Corporation. All rights reserved.

    Scans the integrity of all protected system files and replaces incorrect version
    s with
    correct Microsoft versions.

    SFC [/SCANNOW] [/VERIFYONLY] [/SCANFILE=<file>] [/VERIFYFILE=<file>]
    [/OFFWINDIR=<offline windows directory> /OFFBOOTDIR=<offline boot directory>
    ]

    /SCANNOW Scans integrity of all protected system files and repairs files
    with
    problems when possible.
    /VERIFYONLY Scans integrity of all protected system files. No repair operati
    on is
    performed.
    /SCANFILE Scans integrity of the referenced file, repairs file if problems
    are
    identified. Specify full path <file>
    /VERIFYFILE Verifies the integrity of the file with full path <file>. No re
    pair
    operation is performed.
    /OFFBOOTDIR For offline repair specify the location of the offline boot dire
    ctory
    /OFFWINDIR For offline repair specify the location of the offline windows d
    irectory

    e.g.

    sfc /SCANNOW
    sfc /VERIFYFILE=c:\windows\system32\kernel32.dll
    sfc /SCANFILE=d:\windows\system32\kernel32.dll /OFFBOOTDIR=d:\ /OFFWINDI
    R=d:\windows
    sfc /VERIFYONLY

    This is the results of that command prompt, any ideas?

    Looks like there is an error in the syntax.

    Correct command would be SFC /SCANNOW (space before /) Sorry!

    Beginning system scan. This process will take some time.

    them. Details are included in the CBS.Log windir\Logs\CBS\CBS.log. For
