Laptop only boots in safe mode - sfc can't repair all files

[kufloyd]

My Win7 laptop only boots in safe mode (safe networking also works) but not in normal mode. It shuts down right after logging into normal mode. I ran sfc scannow thrice and it says that it found corrupt files but was not able to fix some of them. I can't upload the CBS log file due to size limitations (it's 7MB).
What should I try next?
Thanks.

Here are some of the failing entries from the CBS log:
CSI 0000011e [SR] Cannot repair member file [l:20{10}]"mfplat.dll" of Microsoft-Windows-MFPlat, Version = 6.1.7600.16385, pA = PROCESSOR_ARCHITECTURE_AMD64 (9),
Cannot repair member file [l:18{9}]"sdclt.exe" of Microsoft-Windows-SafeDocs-Main, Version = 6.1.7601.17514
Cannot repair member file [l:24{12}]"sdengin2.dll" of Microsoft-Windows-SafeDocs-Main,

I also tried system restore but it still does not boot up to normal mode. Any ideas?

I'm a little confused by this:
You can only do a repair install from within Windows 7.
You cannot do a repair install at boot or in Safe Mode.

I'm unable to boot into Win 7 and can only boot into safe mode. SFC found 3 corrupted files that it can't repair. In that case, how do I do the repair install? Thanks.

What happens exactly if you try to boot normally?

http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorial...ation-conflicts-performing-clean-startup.html works fine? Don't forget to do step THREE afterwards! "Return Windows to a Normal Startup Mode"

If I try to boot normally, it just reboots within 5-10 seconds of booting up.

Does "clean startup" boot normally?

Did you perform "system restore" to a date/time prior to "last succesfull normal boot"?

Sure computer crashes AFTER logon? So if you don't logon and wait about 5 minutes the problem doesn't occur?

 

[kufloyd]

Yes, I performed system restore to the earliest possible point but it still failed.
to your question about when it reboots - yes, it only crashes after I login and enter the password. If I let it sit at the login prompt, it stays there and doesn't reboot.
I will disable the auto restart next..thanks.

Create a new user ... "test" for example. Logon as "test". Same problem?
You can remove user "test" later.

I created a new user account and while logging into that account, I get an error: unregmp2.exe: unable to start appication. Error 0xc000007b. Click Ok to close the application. I clicked ok, it happened again, I clicked ok and logged into the test account but get the same problem - it also reboots.

How come you get this error message all of a sudden?
Sorry... but that unregmp2.exe error is the only error you get on user "test"?
Both accounts act the same?

 

[Kaktussoft]

unregmp2 is something of windows media player. I think after user "test" logs on the windows media player gets initialised.... which failed.

 

[Kaktussoft]

Did you do #7 already? What BSOD do you get?
Did you try "clean startup"?

 

[kufloyd]

I only get the unregmp2 error with the test login...not with the regular login. I should've been more clear but with the test login, I get the unregmp2 error + reboot as soon as I login; with the regular login, I get the reboot after logging in.

I need "clean restart" results! http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorial...ation-conflicts-performing-clean-startup.html

You use your Windows Installation Disk or your System Repair Disk to boot with. This explains the procedure

Step 7 - disable auto restart doesn't work...it still restarts and doesn't give a BSOD.

I did the clean restart step 1. It looks like I can login normally now. The problem is that as soon as I either press any key (on the laptop's keyboard, not an external one) or move my finger over the trackpad mouse, it reboots - so any interrupt of any sort is causing it to reboot. I can try to do step 2 - isolate a specific program - but not sure which direction to go. It seems like selective startup is sort-of preventing the problem but only until I move the mouse/press a key. Thoughts?

Thanks for your reply. I don't have the original installation disk (misplaced it) but I used Lenovo's startup repair tool and it didn't fix the problem.
