    Actually it's not 87 errors, it's error number 87. What the hell? I was adjusting some services yesterday and when I tried to change one of the services from auto to manual this error popped up .

    System restore question!


    Can I use system restore repeatingly until I find the restore point I need? Also, when I first got this computer, I made a system repair cd. If system restore doesn't work to fix my sfc /scannow files that were found, could I use that cd I made to replace those files? Thanks

    Hello Justin,

    A system repair disc is not an installation disc, so it does not contain any files that could be used to manually replace your system files with.

    You could use system restore to go back to a restore point dated before you had the issue.

    If you have not already, see if doing the listed items in the blue note box under step 4 in OPTION TWO of the tutorial below may be able to help with SFC.

    SFC /SCANNOW Command - System File Checker

    If not, then post your sfcdetails.txt file from OPTION THREE above here, and I'll be happy to take a look at them. :)

    Thank you brink! If you look in same category , you will see I've posted my sfc scannow finds. They are all ati files from my old graphics card. I believe this happend from me using driver cleaner.net improperly, to erase leftover ati files from computer. I now have nvidia graphics so I don't think I'm using any of those files but I still would like to repair those files. My oldest restore point doesn't go back far enoght to when I used driver cleaner to delete ati files. If I keep using system restore, will I eventually reach that restore point?

    Open a Elevated Command Prompt.

    Run DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth

    See if that fixes the problem.
    Hey Rich,

    Sorry, but DISM is only available in Windows 8/8.1.

    @Justin

    Since these are only AMD drivers for an old graphics card, I wouldn't worry about it.

    Did you already try uninstalling the driver normally in Programs and Features though?

    Brink, yes , I did do the correct uninstall of drivers, but I didn't leave it alone and went and used driver cleaner.
    So these files won't corrupt other files? I thoughti seen that somewhere. Thank you for your time brink

    Na, they're just left over files from a borked uninstall, so they're not going to hurt anything.

    Ok, I'll try and forget lol. Oh, when I ran that
    DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth
    There was an error :87 that came up. But then it wouldn't reconise anything else

    That DISM command is not available in Windows 7. Only in Windows 8.
