System Restore Point - Create
Since you need to run the SFC scan, you can turn off the User Account Control (without dealing with the consent message box) by using some of the steps from this tutorial. If you need a W7 installation DVD, please see the note above "STAGE 1" in this tutorial.
In step 4 of that first tutorial, you will want to load SOFTWARE (not SYSTEM).
If you name the imported hive 123
...like step 5 of the tutorial suggests
...then you will be navigating to here for step 6:
The goal of step 7 is to set the three values shown above to 0.
Once you complete step 11, Windows should start normally and you should be able to run the SFC scan without dealing with the consent message.
Once you figure out the issue, please set the UAC back to the default (or higher) setting. Leaving it off makes programs run in the high integrity mode and that is dangerous.
