luafv error

[debgram1]

I keep getting this error and then the blue screen

The following boot-start or system-start driver(s) failed to load: luafv

it has happened twice and I really wasn't doing anything but surfing the net.


What is the luafv and how to I fix it?

Run this tool and delete anything it finds:
→ Anti-rootkit utility TDSSKiller

Download and install the free version of Malware Bytes and make a full scan:
→ Malwarebytes - The Free version

Did you scan with both?

yes I did scan with both. Going to try the other suggestion now.

Tried it at boot and it won't let me, says There is a system repair pending which requires reboot to complete, but when I reboot it still gives me that message and I rebooted 3 times.

There's a lot of errors present in that data - mostly, it seems, to do with ATI/AMD drivers.

I suspect the easiest solution is going to be a repair install.

I did do a repair but it said there was things it couldn't repair. I was able to run sfc /scannow on desktop without giving me a error and a CBS file. I uninstalled my video drivers and reinstalled, did a chkdisk and I still get the luafv error.

I've added more files to look at

I suspect that you mean that you did an SFC?

A repair install is a very different beast. - look here.... http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/3413-repair-install.html

oh yeah, well I don't think I'll try that, don't feel like losing my info. What is the down side of this driver not loading at boot-up? Everything else seems to work.

Did you download the proper S1 isntall disk and use that? - from the error message it would appear not.



Download the SP1 Refresh for your language and edition from the links on these pages...

Heidoc - Microsoft DR Download links

The links are for downloads from the Digital River servers run for MS, so are about as safe as you can get

Once you have it downloaded, you then need to burn the DVD from it - use either the Windows Disk Image Burner, or (better still) your favourite burning application at the slowest speed possible.

Note that you do NOT 'drag and drop' the file to the disk, you must use the 'burn an image' option from your app - or you'll end up with a useless coaster

Once you have the disk burnt, check that it boots the (or any other) system OK - but do NOT start the repair from there - you must start the repair from within a normal Windows boot.

then try teh repair install again.

this is the one I'm downloading now

Windows 7 Home Premium x64 SP1 U (media refresh)X17-58997.iso

so is this the only thing I need to do? I don't have to get the files off my original win 7 disc and save them to desktop?

I was running it and everything was going fine until it said pc needed to boot, it wasn't booting by itself so I booted it and it messed up, first I got the blue screen and then it wouldn't start the setup repair
