Solved SFC/Scannow shows spsys.sys error

I have some problems in my windows. I recently did a sfc/scannow on my laptop and stored the sfcdetails file with it.. The log file showed that the spsys.sys file was corrupted..What does this file exactly does?

how can I repair it or what needs to be done..

Help wanted

That is an actual system file found in the Path: %SYSTEMROOT%:\WINDOWS\winsxs\amd64_microsoft-windows-s..ive-blackbox-driver_31bf3856ad364e35_6.1.7600.16385_none_656773dac187bca2\

The information is found on several sites usually selling some program however as to where it is located. One site pointing the DLLSuite wanting you to download that to replace the file does have a bit on this file to look over however recommending a good security sweep with possible malware infection as the root cause. Fix spsys.sys error for Windows 7 Enterprise Edition 64-bit | DLLSuite

Despite that being Enterprise edition named there it is also found in the Ultimate edition by simply running the search for the file once you reach the "C:\Windows\winsxs\ " folder where you will find an endless list of AMD64- items. The search in the text box will run the search automatically to display the results.

Thx for the answer.. the problem I am facing in my windows is that I do not see texts on my dialogue boxes .. even in msconfig and system restore and also many other programs also do not show up with texts when opened.. I thus did SFC and found this report which says that spys.sys corrupt files in the LOg..View attachment sfcdetails.txt

So, repairing this one can remove the problem...??

farhaj,
Run SFC /SCANNOW three times.

AFter that, then attach the sfcdetails.txt file to your next post.

Do have any idea what you might have done to precipitate this problem?

three times .. OK I will do one right now again...

and what should I post all 3 files or what

I was doing Itunes and then uniNstalled it.. It ws not picking my iphone... and then in some thread it was written to change some registry settings which I did and after the restart the BLUE SCREEN WOULD APPEAR And restart again and then I made it run into best possible settings...which is right now..

Well,Well,Well.

Do NOT ever muck around with the registry.

You have just learned the "benefits" of such.

However, that tidbit of info just may give you a solution.

Believe it or not you have system restore points. Microsoft has been looking out for you.

Use this procedure and pick a restore point from BEFORE the problem appeared.

RESTORE TO A PREVIOUS SYSTEM RESTORE POINT
1) WIN | type SYSTEM RESTORE | ENTER | NEXT
| Choose a different restore point radio button | NEXT
2) Show more restore pointscheckbox (lower left)
3) Highlight the desired restore point
4) Scan for affected programs(lower right)make a note of affected programs
5) CLOSE | NEXT | FINISH


WIN = key with the wavy Microsoft flag on top.

I cannot even do the System restore coz the texts wont show up in the system restore.. and I even tried to run system restore in the Boot before the main windows starts and it came up with the error that it cannot restore file from the original file in the D Drive.. I tried many restore points..

can you see my sfcdetails file and tell me what I can do with the laptop by seeing the error written in it.. I am doing one right now as well.. will post the latest copy..

Here is my latest report of SFC.. sfcdetails...

But for todays date it did not find out any errors... just check it...View attachment sfcdetails.txt

The System Restore feature can be run when booting live from the 7 dvd and entering the repair tools option where you will find the options for restoring a full system image or using the restore feature to roll things back.

The memory dump file is another asset since you encountered a BSOD that would need to be looked over as well. You will want to include that along with the sfcdetails.txt file after the 3rd run. You want the last file not all three for that. The memory dump file is found in "C:\Windows\mindump\".

Excellent! That indicated that sfc was able to repair all damaged files.

We can forget that aspect.

However, before we go further, the fact that you can not perform a system restore is more serious.

I downloaded the file but cannot Install it due to the reasin I cannot see texts on the bars for installing it...

answer is not acceptable.

Please elucidate.

Generally, the only people who can not install are people who do not want to install because they do have a kosher Win 7.

I'm sure that is not the case with you, so tell us, in baby steps, what you did and where the procedure failed..

help me guys!!!!

He is having problems with Windows as far as text not even being visible in order to do much of anything. The initial error does suggest a possible malware infection like an I-Worm type virus or another large OS problem to content with.

The memory dump file may reveal one of the problems there since you had a blue screen. That could point out a driver issue if no malware is at the root. Typically disappearing icons and not seeing text is a display issue of some type.

Why in tarnation are you trying to use regsver32?

No one said anything in that direction.

Now then since you can't paste into a code block, then simply paste the output of MGADiag into your next post.

Crying won't do you a bit of good.

Did not get that.. can u please tell me in detail now what I should Install and how should I proceed..

One possibility is that your computer is infected.

To rule out any possible infection, then an OFFLINE scan is necessary.

WDO is the tool you need and here is how to use WDO.

HOW TO USE MICROSOFT'S OFFLINE MALWARE REMOVER
Windows Defender Offline
· performs an offline scan of an infected PC to remove viruses, rootkits and other advanced malware.
· is a free standalone, bootable malware and virus remover from Microsoft.

Download Windows Defender Offline (about 785 kB)
You will have the choice of downloading the 32bit version (x86) or the 64 bit version (x64).
The link will help you determine whether you are running a 32 bit version or 64 bit version of Windows

NOTE!! You can download and prepare a 32 bit version using a 64 bit version of Windows
NOTE!! You can download and prepare a 64 bit version using a 32bit version of Windows.

You run the 32 bit version on a 32 bit version of Windows.
You run the 64 bit version on a 64 bit version of Windows.

The 32 bit download file name is: mssstool32.exe
The 64 bit download file name is: mssstool64.exe

For the curious, this program was originally name Microsoft Standalone System Sweeper.


INSTALLATION:
· Requires an Internet Connection.
· Insert 512 mB or larger USB stick into a usb port.
· Run the downloaded program--mssstool64.exe or mssstool32.exe
· NEXT button
· Choose the option On a USB flash drive that is not password protected
· NEXT button
· NEXT button
.
The install program will:
· format the usb stick using the NTFS format.
· download less than 230 mB.
· name the USB stick WDO_Media32 or WDO_Media64
· use less than 300 mB.

How to UPDATE the Windows Defender Offline USB stick:
· reinsert the usb stick
· run the installation program, mssstool64.exe or mssstool32.exe, again.
· the update will download less than 65 mB.

Since the malware database is sometimes updated several times in a day, always update before running.

PERFORM AN OFFLINE SCAN
Bootup your computer from the USB stick
Windows Defender Offline will automatically perform a quick scan.
After the quick scan finishes, Choose Full Scan
Select all of your drives

The initial, full scan can easily take several hours, but
Remember, your computer is being very thoroughly checked for all types of malware.
