windows hangs after startup

DavidE · 07 Jul 2014

It looks like you didn't put the backslash in the SFC command.
You entered SFC Scannow
It should be SFC /Scannow

Apologies for that folks.
Attached is the latest CBS.log file.

Hi Greg

Thanks for the pointer. I've worked through it all, and unfortunately to no avail, so I've decided to do a clean re-install.
This now seems the line of least resistance, especially as I have everything backed up.. It should give the backup program a good test and see if it was money well spent!

I really appreciate all of the help and assistance that we get from the forum, it feels like a real community.

Thanks again.

Clean Reinstall Windows 7 is a good thing. It's like a big vitamin pill for a Windows 7 computer. Puts the vim and vigor back in your computer again. I haven't done it often but I always enjoyed the results.
Following Gregs tutorial has made thousands of happy people.
