Internet Explorer 10 will not roll back to IE-9. Help!

That's a major advance for mankind, at least! :)
I'm getting a 404 error on your link?

Indeed, so am I now, even though I tested it successfully when I first put it up. Perhaps it was assigned a temporary ID, or something, as the link I get for it from Dropbox now looks much more like it (before it gave me some odd numbers for the filename). Anyway, enough of that, here's the file.

Apologies for the inconvenience!

These things happen! :)
Interesting report!

PLease run a new SFC /SCANNOW, and we'll see if that comes up clear.

Much smaller CBS log file now, I can attach it here.

If that font is a problem, maybe I should uninstall it? It looks like Sanskrit or something like that, and I highly doubt I will ever use it! I see IE9 is mentioned in there, too.

During the first attempt at the scan, the system BSOD'd suddenly, but as that is something that happens from time to time with my Windows 7, I greatly doubt it had anything to do with SFC. The second scan ran alright, and it still has the message about some corrupt elements.

Here's the new log summary - which is a little confusing, but at least suggests that we're getting somewhere!

There appear to be some damaged Manifest files - which are best repaired using CheckSUR, so please run that tool again, and post the new CheckSUR log and we'll see if there's anything else uncovered.

Certainly looks a lot better than it was! Attached is the CheckSUR log. I also ran another SFC /scannow, and the new CBS log is attached, too.

Ah - I see what the problem is - it's in the registry
The hash values have been corrupted.

I need to have another look at your Components hive.

(just in case you've forgotten...)

Please copy the C:\Windows\System32\config\COMPONENTS file (no extension) to your desktop and then compress it - upload the compressed file to your favoured fileshare site (preferably Dropbox or SkyDrive) and post a link.

Something different. I can now actually copy and compress this file while in windows. No need to revert to Linux and access the Windows drive to retrieve it, as before.

Here is the file.

Well - I found that error, at least :)

Here's the file back again - cdoac.zip

Same procedure to replace your file, then run another SFC scan and we'll see where we are.

New CBS log attached...
