How to make scan results display longer on screen?

But I am still perturbed that I cannot do option #3.

Is something wrong with my PC?...because I acquired this used two year old HP Pavilion three months ago (I always have some kind of trepidation buying used anything) and although it seems running properly (actually excellently), I wonder when I encounter something like this...the computer unable to execute what seems to be routine function.

Shawn, have you tried copy/pasting the same code you posted in the forum to your command prompt? Is it possible you might have posted a typo?

I just realized that an icon sub-titled sfcdetails is shown aligned together with other desktop icons on Administrator (Home)account. Totally missed it. It shows an empty chkdsk pad.

It does not show on (Tony).

This is desktop appearance(I/4 of screen) after I had clicked the sfcdetails icon right below Recycle Bin icon. Your icon looks better.

So, am I OK?

How reliable are chkdsk and sfc /scannow scans?

I wonder because with Vista there were always some files that were needing repair(and most, not all were repaired). With this current used W7 laptop I acquired last December all I am getting is "no integrity violation" results. Nothing to repair?

That brings to mind, should these scans be done only when there seems to be wrong ...and not routinely as I always do? Is there a downside to over-scanning(like, weekly)?

Thanks Shawn.



Now, how did you get to do screen shots of these results that stay on screen only for nanoseconds? I always knew there's a way to freeze them. How?
