[Andarkan]

"thıs verıson of system recovery ıs not compatible with the version of windows you are trying to repair"
i have tried nearly everything but couldnt solve it guys i hope u ppl can help me.

It sounds like something went horribly wrong with your Windows system files or registry. Have you used any registry cleaning tools on this system?

You may also try Disk Check with both boxes checked for all HDDs and with Automatically fix file system errors checked for all SSDs. Post back your logs for the checks after finding them using http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/96938-check-disk-chkdsk-read-event-viewer-log.html. It is possible you have hard disk errors causing the problems.

Also, have you tried to use http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/700-system-restore.html OPTION TWO to revert to an old restore point?

 

[Andarkan]

i have checked both hdds and here are the logs.btw i didnt set a restore point to more than 4 days so all i could was to restore it to 4 days earlier tho ive tried that also and it didnt fix the issue.and yes i have used ccleaner most of the time.also whats weird is i got a roommate that is usin a laptop and his command prompt doesnt recognize any of the commands.we are not on the same network i mean just connected to internet via same router.

here are the logs for c and d drives :

Run http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/1538-sfc-scannow-command-system-file-checker.html up to three times to fix any corrupted Windows files. If it comes back with no integrity violations after the first run, post back here for further instructions. If you still get errors after the fourth run, go through OPTION THREE of that tutorial and use the Tip provided therein.

 

[Andarkan]

i just ran sfc and it didnt find any integrity violations btw do i have to have a file called autoexec.nt or something like that in my windows/system32 dir? because i dont have at mine i wanted to extract it from my win 7 cd via 7zip but couldnt it find there also.well sfc didnt say anything was missing anywayz so its not a problem i guess

 

[writhziden]

Can you post the command prompt screenshot of what error you get when you try to run a command? http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/9733-screenshots-files-upload-post-seven-forums.html

 

[Andarkan]

[Andarkan]

[writhziden]

Check your C:\Windows\System32 folder and make sure ipconfig.exe exists in that folder.

 

[Andarkan]

yea it is there.btw lets say problem is ipconfig but why then even "exit" doesnt work :/

 

[writhziden]

Type into the command prompt:

PATH=%SYSTEMROOT%\System32​

and then type ipconfig.

 

[writhziden]

yea it is there.btw lets say problem is ipconfig but why then even "exit" doesnt work :/

I think somehow your path variables were messed up. If my most recent suggestion does not work, I will be surprised.

 

[Andarkan]

after typing it and then ipconfig worked.do i have to add that line to path in environment variables?

edıt: hmm ive just added that line to path @environment variables but it doesnt work again.do i have to type everytime i run command prompt or is there a solution?

 

[writhziden]

Yes. And %SYSTEMROOT% and %SYSTEMROOT%\System32\Wbem

Add %SYSTEMROOT%\System32;%SYSTEMROOT%;%SYSTEMROOT%\System32\Wbem; to the path in Environment Variables. You should have those as your first three paths.

 

[Andarkan]

just added those three to the beginning of my path but still getting the same error maybe we have to delete other lines in the path about system etc or what to do?

edit : this is what my path looks like atm

%SYSTEMROOT%\System32;%SYSTEMROOT%;%SYSTEMROOT%\System32\Wbem;C:\Program Files (x86)\AMD APP\bin\x86_64;C:\Program Files (x86)\AMD APP\bin\x86;C:\Program Files (x86)\NVIDIA Corporation\PhysX\Common;C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\Windows Live;C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\Windows Live;%SystemRoot%\system32;%SystemRoot%;%SystemRoot%\System32\Wbem;%SYSTEMROOT%\System32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\;C:\Program Files (x86)\ATI Technologies\ATI.ACE\Core-Static;C:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Live\Shared;C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Roxio Shared\DLLShared\;C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Roxio Shared\9.0\DLLShared\;D:\Program Files\ATI Technologies\ATI.ACE\Core-Static;"C:\Program Files\Java\jre6\bin"

I will give you a new path and you can delete your current path. Give me a minute to put it together.
