sfc /scannow problems
Ok. I've read the posts, googled the internet, tried just about every tweak out there and I'm at a loss. I'm about to reinstall win7 as I'm sure this will fix the problem but I thought I'd come here as a last resort. I'm running WIN7 ultimate 64bit and I began noticing some odd behavior when trying to open a couple of programs (specifically Quickbooks 2010.) When attempting to open it would say I must turn on certain windows features in order for it to work (specifically IE.) Funny, never exhibited this behavior before, but OK, I went in to control panel/programs/windows features and it came back blank. That's where this odyssey started. Various blogs/posts etc. pointed me to run sfc /scannow which I have attempted in it's many iterations (command prompt/WIN recovery mode/OFFBOOT DIR, blah, blah, blah.) When attempting I'm always presented with the Windows Resources Protection error or the "a system repair is in progress, please restart error." I've followed all the advise these two problems point you to and still no help (I don't have a pending.xml file to rename!) I've even attempted to do an in-place upgrade and I'm presented with the "Windows needs to be restarted so necessary changes to system files can be made before continuing" error and when restarted, same thing. So here I am, about to do a complete re-install unless someone can come up with a better idea. Before I step into the abyss, thanks in advance.
