is "iassdo.dll.mui" the culprit?

Hi Sammy,

Sorry for the delay; I'm currently in university and have very little free time to come online here. I have a backlog of 25 threads which will range from 2-60 minutes to fix each one, so I've got so much to reply to at the moment.

Don't worry about how you ran SFCFix, that won't have caused any problems.

There are many others with the same problem as you but you can safely ignore it for now. Yes, there's still a problem but it won't cause any side effects from you. We're looking into the cause of it right now and I will get back to you if we find a solution but until then, you can ignore this with no problems!

Hi Sammy,

No problem - it's what we're here for! That's perfect, thanks for the log. Now can you find SFCFix.exe on your Desktop and double click on it please? It will run the AutoAnalysis that has recently been updated (3 hours ago) to target this problem. Post the log when it finishes please!

Tom

Hi Sammy,

Can you try once more please? SFCFix has been updated once again (to 2.1.4.0) and I would like to see whether this can fix it before I go ahead with a manual fix.

Tom

sandpd · Mar 13, 2014

hi tom

which of these two steps should i follow now:

1) repeat post #24---download the two files again and follow the instructions?

2) connect to the internet, double click on the sfcfix.exe file on my desktop to update itself and perform the action?

standing by

sammy

tom982 · Mar 13, 2014

Sorry for the confusion, #2 please!

sandpd · Mar 13, 2014

hi tom

this is what transpired:

i took screen shots of two of the msgs that appeared in "command prompt" during the process.

screen shots below:

this is the sfcfix.txt file that was produced

View attachment SFCFix.txt

i then decided to run sfc/scannow to verify. did it in two steps. first in safe mode and normal windows startup.

screen shots below.

this is the cbs log file

View attachment 310240

thanks for taking the time to help.

NoelDP · Mar 13, 2014

(I have to admit I'm glad it's Tom dealing with this, and not me! <eg>)

I have a couple of vague ideas of how I want to deal with this on the machine I'm nursing - but the problem is access! I won't be able to get to it until sometime next week.
If Tom gives up, or hasn't managed to fix it by then, maybe I'll have some idea what to do (and perhaps even what works!)

<back in lurk mode>

sandpd · Mar 13, 2014

hi noel, thanks for your input

it's really refreshing how the two of you (you and tom) work so well together. and i think i speak for all when i say we are lucky to have both of you here at the forum helping clowns like me out....but i'm slowly improving though haha.

could you guys tell me in short short what seems to be happening now based on the cbs log that i just posted.

i did creat a restore point before all this started. so if at any point you guys would like for me to revert back to that date please let me know. it will only mean having to do the 8 or so "march windows updates" again and that will be no problem.

thanks again for the help

sammy

NoelDP · Mar 14, 2014

It's likely that a restore point won't help here, the problem is with the NTFS file system itself, and the problem may well predate the update installation anyhow.

Essentially, the problem is that the system contains 'hardlinks' - which allow a number of virtual copies of a file to exist so reducing storage requirements. In this case, somehow, one relating to the iassdo file has gotten crossedlinked in to the Pretty_Peacock file, so the system ends up looking at the wrong file all the time. There is no easy way to delete hardlinks, so we're having to try some roundabout ways to get rid of it.
However, it may be that we are looking in the wrong place as yet, and need to focus more on the background of what creates and resets a hardlink, and whether it's this causing the problem, rather than a one-off file system error.

sandpd · Mar 14, 2014

hi noel

thanks for the explanation.

i think i misled you when i said, i created a restore point befoare all this started.

i didn't mean that a restore point was created before the problem started....no.
this problem has been there for quite some time now. don't even know how or excatly when it started.

what i meant was, i created a restore point before i started carrying out your instructions to fix the problem.

so i was just simply suggesting that if at any point you guys will like to start "the fix" all over, to let me know so that i can do a system restore to that date....that is if the system hasn't deleted that restore point by then.

noel thanks very much again for that explanation and thanks guys for the help.

Same problem

is this issue resolved? I'm stuck with a similar situation. first iassdo.dll.mui was found to be corrupted, when i replaced it, sfc scan is now showing a corrupted pretty_peacock.jpg. And I'm unable to download any exe file from any browser since this error has occured. Help please!

NoelDP · Feb 1, 2015

Have you checked your system for malware?

As yet we really have no proper solution for this problem other than a repair install.

is "iassdo.dll.mui" the culprit?
