windows genuine issues

(record thread length is around 120 - we've got a way to go yet! )

Please post Event logs from System and Application in the Windows logs of Event viewer - (Save all events as... Sevt.evtx and Aevt.evtx) - zip them first as they can be rather large!

Noels hate for computers starts coming out about post #100 so you have a ways to go.

(Don't polar bears melt when it gets warm? <eg>)

Catching up at the moment - swapped HD's on this machine since my last post.....

I'll review the logs and get back to you later

OK - the first resuilts are in :)

There are a LOT of disk errors - I'll come to those in a minute.....

There is a service that isn't functioning properly, so we'll try and fix that first

Open an Elevated Command prompt, and run the following commands...

regsvr32 %windir%\system32\rsaenh.dll
ICACLS C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Crypto\RSA

You should get a popup message from the first - what does it say?


As far as the disk errors go, it looks as if you had problems with a secondary disk for a few minutes - which generated something like 5000 errors!
There are also problems with iastor, volsnap, and NTFS.
We need to focus on those soon.

....BUT - the bad news is that there are 128KB in bad sectors in the latest CHKDSK report - they seem tobe increasing over time - in April, there were 'only' 60KB
This almost certainly means that the HD is on the way out, so back up to external media NOW, and plan for a change of hard drive!

Sorry - my fault.....

ICACLS C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Crypto\RSA

(not 'soon' - 'soonest' - this one could fall over tonight!)

now I got this message. well then I will make a backup and I don't know how much of a point is there to fix the problems then
