Corrupted Files on Laptop [Currently Going Mad]
I'm sorry if I sound really rude, I'm impatient at this point. Thank you all for helping me. First of all, you can look through my account info and the drivers and my laptop build but I'm dead sure almost NONE of the matters. Notice that I said almost. So it all started when I went through the instructions on this page:
How to Make Your Computer Run Faster: 26 Steps (with Pictures) (windows)
I did everything BUT install an antivirus and defrag and add more ram and remove gagdets because I am already on a win7 pretty smooth computer I just wanted it smoother.
Also excuse me for my bad english.
I search this up a bunch of times, and I get the same results. Either something wrong with a software or complete reinstall. I do not want to complete reinstall because 1. There are important files on this computer
2. If I wish to move a complete application, locating ALL the files would be a hazard and impossibru
3. If I backed up everything (which I tried already) it would bring back the same error.
Am I not screwed? That's why I'm asking for help
Continuing
I saw that my drivers needed updates and I got this thing called "Device Doctor" and went ahead to manually install my updates. When I first got my intel driver update, I tried openning it, because it was a compressed file, and it says "error: not a win32 app" and I opened it with 7zip and it went fine. I thought it was strange because it never happened before. So basically then I ran the installer and it said that files were corrupt and I should either contact the suppliers of the installer, or get a fresh download. So I go to the intel site, then the windows site, then the intel site again. I get more versons and load my computer with useless MB of installers, but they were all "corrupt:
I thought it was a problem with 7zip you see. I went to get winrar. "Files are corrupt". I want to crack a plugin for ae so I try to run 2 exes. "Not valid win apps" "Running failed". Someone had the same problem and was told to do all windows updates and get new java and flash.
8 of the 43 windows updates failed of corrupted files.
Java and flash installer both failed of corrupted files
I tried something like "chkdsk /r /f" or whatever in my command prompt and rebooted
After waiting a useless time nothing happened and it didnt work. I did a sfs /somethingsomethingsomething (system check) it reported back nothing wrong. I fixed my registry with ccleaner and removed more trash files. Again and again. Please tell me how to fix this without completely resetting my comptuer. I beg for mercy!!!
Edit: The problems seems to be missing dlls. I opened up sony vegas this morning and about 6 messages showed up saying some dll was missing during the loading small icon before the actuall vegas opens up. If you would like to know these dlls, please let me know. Nothing on this page works, even though this was the recommended fix for the installers being corrupt: http://nsis.sourceforge.net/NSIS_Error. If anyone would like to tell me what this is in case the repair install fails? Last time I saw a post on this, EVERY install failed. By every, I mean EVERY. Windows updates, Factory installs, even iso complete vanilla windows 7 reinstalls. Im pretty sure this repair install won't work, and if it does, does the repair install change anything to the registry of windows? I made a few tweaks in there such as cracking fl studio 11 and changing Enable prefetch to 2. I do not want the fl studio one changed sooooo.... I don't know what to at this point. For some reason it seems like this is a virus that is getting larger on scale, I'm not sure. Last time I opened vegas was before doing the steps to making my computer faster. Please read this page: http://www.wikihow.com/Make-Your-Computer-Run-Faster
Again, I did everything BUT adding ram and using antiviruses. The programs I uninstalled were VLC.dll, Acer games, Acer upgrades, Acer updates, and Acer System Manager (I'm not exactly sure about these names). Is there a definite answer yet? If so, please help!
Edit: Here's something that might help. This is why I am kinda scared: Cannot install software due to corrupt install files. That is some scary convo in that thread, please read it all. It might give more info.
