My Win7 laptop only boots in safe mode (safe networking also works) but not in normal mode. It shuts down right after logging into normal mode. I ran sfc scannow thrice and it says that it found corrupt files but was not able to fix some of them. I can't upload the CBS log file due to size limitations (it's 7MB).
What should I try next?
Thanks.
Here are some of the failing entries from the CBS log:
CSI 0000011e [SR] Cannot repair member file [l:20{10}]"mfplat.dll" of Microsoft-Windows-MFPlat, Version = 6.1.7600.16385, pA = PROCESSOR_ARCHITECTURE_AMD64 (9),
Cannot repair member file [l:18{9}]"sdclt.exe" of Microsoft-Windows-SafeDocs-Main, Version = 6.1.7601.17514
Cannot repair member file [l:24{12}]"sdengin2.dll" of Microsoft-Windows-SafeDocs-Main,
I also tried system restore but it still does not boot up to normal mode. Any ideas?
I'm a little confused by this:
You can only do a repair install from within Windows 7.
You cannot do a repair install at boot or in Safe Mode.
I'm unable to boot into Win 7 and can only boot into safe mode. SFC found 3 corrupted files that it can't repair. In that case, how do I do the repair install? Thanks.

What happens exactly if you try to boot normally?
Troubleshoot Application Conflicts by Performing a Clean Startup works fine? Don't forget to do step THREE afterwards! "Return Windows to a Normal Startup Mode"
If I try to boot normally, it just reboots within 5-10 seconds of booting up.

Does "clean startup" boot normally?

Yes, I performed system restore to the earliest possible point but it still failed.
to your question about when it reboots - yes, it only crashes after I login and enter the password. If I let it sit at the login prompt, it stays there and doesn't reboot.
I will disable the auto restart next..thanks.
