    Superfetch problem


    My laptop doesn't start the Superfetch Service although set to automatic. The error message is:
    "Windows could not start the Superfetch service on Local Computer. Error 2: The system cannot find the file specified."
    Does anyone know the solution?
    Any help appreciated

    Open Windows Explorer and look inside your System32 folder (C:\windows\system32), check that the file sysmain.dll is there.

    If sysmain.dll isnt there, run sfc /scannow.

    SFC /SCANNOW Command - System File Checker

    BTW, if you have an SSD, superfetch will be disabled.

My Windows 7 keeps switching from Aero theme to the regular theme. Every time it switches from Aero to regular, it says Superfetch stopped working. Any clues what could be bothering Superfetch? D:

Have they changed its code in some fundamental way? I always used to have to disable it eventually on vista as it was very greedy with ram, quite frequently leaving me with very little head room. But, on W7 it seems incredibly well behaved. It's almost as if is not enabled.
