Try to follow this tutorial i hope it will help you to solve your problem

SFC /SCANNOW : Run in Command Prompt at Boot


Best of luck....

Won't help, I'm afraid. There are no clean copies of these files to perform the replacement with so SFC is useless here :)

It seems that my problems with Open/Save file dialog isn't about the explorer.exe,
even after I replaced them.

Does anyone have any idea?

Edit:
I got the same error after replacing with an explorer.exe of Windows 7 64 bit SP1,
and the CBS.log is attached.

Hi initialsHL,
