sfc/scannow not fixing

[mecanicogolf]

Hello everyone.

Attached are my results from my sfc scan I just ran. My computer seems to run just fine, but knowing that some files are missing, just bugs me.

As you can see, I also ran the SFCFix tool and inserted my Win 7 disc as told but did not work for my 6 files that are missing.

Any hope for me? I would hate to reinstall Win 7 again as I just did after removing Win 10.

Thanks

Awhile back there was a windows update that caused a false reading when running sfc. If I remember correctly it was KB3022345

How many times have you run it ??

sfc should be run at least 3 times to see if it will correct any error messages.

Well, here it is, 2 months later and still have the same problem. I even ran the SFCfix.exe program which told me to insert the Win 7 Disc (and I did) with no results. As I stated above, the laptop runs just fine, but this bugs the hell out of me knowing somethin is missing.
As you can see, it´s exactly the same as my last scan. It´s been this way for about 5 months now, which is when I last did a Win 7 resurection.
Can anyone tell me what this files are and how to fix the? Where to download? SFCfix cannot get them from my disc.
I may try the Microsoft Help Forum if I cannot get help here.

Thanks

Those files all belong to the MS visual Basics C++ programs, (in your progs).
If you dont use them uninstall them, there will be more than 1, all with different year dates.
If they are required in the future by other progs, it will tell you.

Thanks torchwood, I´ll try it right now and let you know.
Now I know why my Win 7 disc couldn´t fix them.

Well, I tried what you said and it didn´t work. I had 2 C++2005, 3 C++ 2008, 1 C++ 2010 and 1 C++ 2012. I erased all of them and ran the scan and got the same. I then decided that maybe they were corrupt and reinstalled them: Got the same results. Nothing has changed with or without C++.

I have decided that it must not be serious and will try and live with it, as I have had this for 5 months now and my computer runs very good with this "problem".

What I will not do again is reinstall Windows just to get rid of these errors. No way. It´s running great. Must not be real important.

Even though I really would like to fix this, if you have anymore suggestions, I´m all ears.

Attached is my current scan now. I reinstalled C++ 2008, C++2010 and C++ 2012. My system said I needed them. I believe for Nero.

Thank you for your help.

Believe it or not, those errors come from the 2005 version, so try installing that version.

For the other error

Usually, that means the MTDSC.log file is either missing or somehow corrupted. The MSDTC log file is usually here so take a look:
C:\WINDOWS\System32\Msdtc

To reset and create a new MSDTC.log file, click Start, Run and in the box enter:

msdtc -resetlog (note the space)

Good. We´re getting closer. I reinstalled C++ 2005 and looks like that part is OK.(It originally came with my Nero 11 program I had installed a few months back)

I followed your MSDTC steps (hope I did it right) Openned Start and in the box I entered (copied your line to not to make mistakes) and hit enter. (By the way, I cannot open this file). I restarted the computer (just in case) and ran the scan again.
Attached is what I got.

P.S. I ran a SFCFix also and tried to insert the Win 7 disc. Did not work

P.S.S. I ran the mouse pointer over the MSDTC file and it tells me it´s empty. I also accessed the properties and it also says it´s empty. I remember it did have 113kb. ???¿¿¿
Maybe I need to replace this file?

Now I have 7 errors when I had 6 before?
Give me step by step details and I´ll try it again.

 

[torchwood]

there should be a copy of that log here, can you check

C:\Windows\winsxs\amd64_microsoft-windows-com-dtc-runtime_31bf3856ad364e35_6.1.7600.16385_none_7547f48c79b40229. ​

the new error relates to the removal of a language pack ??

Roy

 

[mecanicogolf]

C:\Windows\winsxs\amd64 doesn´t exsist on my PC. Looks like a 64 bit. Mine´s a 32 bit. ? There is nothing that starts with "amd64".

I have installed a Spanish language pack installed by Vistalizator and the Spanish language pack that goes with it. Never had trouble with it. If you think I should uninstall and reinstall? No problem.

 

[torchwood]

Lets see if we can find it in the windows.old folder, that was created when you updated to 10, if its not been deleted
(i mean the MSDTC.log)
As regarding the Spanish language option, Only the Ultimate and Enterprise versions have the option to install different language packs, Visulator is a 3rd party program. Arguments abound regarding the legality of adding/changing languages on other versions but microsoft Eula states that you can only use your original set-up language.

[mecanicogolf]

It has been deleted. When I went from 7 to 10, I thought 10 was it. I started having some issues and the fact is that I JUST like Windows 7 a lot better. I still have 5 years and I´ll stick with 7. Anyway, all .old files are gone.

I bought this laptop in Spain with Windows 7 Home Premium Spanish Version originally. My keyboard is Spanish ñññ¿¿¿, as you can see. The problem is, I was never given a disc. I have a Windows repair disc (in English) then I change to Spanish. That´s the only way to get back to the original language. So this DID come with Spanish.
If you know of amore "legal" way to go to Spanish, I´m all ears and maybe fix this problem.

Thanks

Hi
Right ive managed to get hold of a MSdtc.log (32bit version).
CREATE A RESTORE POINT >>>> NOW <<<<,
if you cant, do not proceed
FROM an Administator command
(its a Zipped file so you will need to unzip it)
Drag it to your C:/windows/system32 folder

Roy

 

[mecanicogolf]

I did exactly what you said and here are the results:

I restarted and everything before running the scan (just in case).

I now have the application (131kb) dated 13 July 2009 and the log file you just gave me right below it in my system32 folder. Hope that is correct.

After checking this one more time, I ran the scan

 

[torchwood]

Checking for next post
DO NOTHING

reg load HKLM\COMPONENTS %windir%\System32\config\COMPONENTS reg add "HKLM\COMPONENTS\DerivedData\Components\x86_microsoft-windows-com-dtc-runtime_31bf3856ad364e35_6.3.9600.17415_none_0a5dfdcc33c06e7e" /v f!msdtc.log /t REG_DWORD /d 00000001 /f

 

[torchwood]

Open Regedit HKLM > Expand
NOW we need to get the config data

Roy

 

[mecanicogolf]

I don´t know if you can see this well. I tried to upload a XPS file, but it wouldn´t take it.

My screenshot looks just like yours. I threw in a txt. I hope you can understand it.

If you need anything else, just let me know. It´s in spanish some of the words, but hope understandable.

 

[torchwood]

In Addrams reply (post2) did you uninstal KB3022345?

If not please do so.

Roy

 

[mecanicogolf]

I never uninstalled KB3022345. It was never on my system as I know of.

I now noticed that my msdtc file has a logo on it that looks like a delta in a circle.
More info:
File: 2001.12.8530.16385
Date: 07/13/2009 at 16:14 (time)
Created by C++8.0
Version: 6.1.7600.16385

If this helps any.

 

[mecanicogolf]

You know what? My Win 7 is running at all bad. This msdtc file or log doesn´t seem to affect my laptop. I think I´ll just keep going as I am and when or if some other file or program goes on the blink, then I´ll just reinstall Windows with my installation disc.
As I stated above, I´ve been running with msdtc like this for over 5 or 6 months now.

I do appreciate all of you help and concern with this matter and thank you very much for your interest.
