Sfc will not run

[alzan135]

Hello everybody. I have been trying to run sfc because i have been a couple of minor problems with my setup.

My problem is that if i try to run it from the command prompt as administrator it hangs for a couple of minutes then gives the following message.

Windows Resource Protection could not start the repair process.

I am running Windows 7 Home Premium SP1

Hi and welcome.
You might try running it at boot.

As Britton has said and if it still is troublesome try safe mode.

While you are at it I would run a chkdsk as well

Jack did you try the options in Option 2 of this

You haven't said if can get into safe mode either - do that if you can and run it.

To Alzan can you get into safe mode and run sfc and what I have suggested to Jack??
