Please assist as the above watermark has appeared on my screen.
I purchased this Windows 7 software from a reputable retailer approximately 18 months ago to upgrade from XP, at the time it activated fine, and I have not had any problems until now.
The clock is running accurately though I am getting the ‘black screen’ occasionally.
I have carried out the following checks:
1) Windows update will not run but produces this message:
Windows could not search for new updates
An error occurred while checking for new updates for your computer
Error(s) found:
Code C0000022
2) The Software Protection Service is not running and when I try to start it I get the following message:
Windows could not start the Software Protection service on Local Computer. Error 5: Access is denied
3) I have run CHKDSK, as an administrator, with the following results:
No errors reported
4) I have run SFC /SCANNOW , as an administrator, with the following results:
Windows Resource Protection did not find any integrity violations.
5)I have downloaded and run System Update Readiness Tool (CheckSUR) :
No errors detected
6) I have run a full Malwarebytes scan which reported:
No malicious items detected
7) I have run Windows Validation and I was transferred to a page:
Buy genuine Windows
8) I have run System File Checker tool with this result:
Verification 100% complete.
Windows Resource Protection did not find any integrity violations.
9) I have run Windows Update troubleshooter-Microsoft Fix-it.

I have run out of ideas now, I did though use a registry cleaner recently!
Could this have caused this problem?
I am running Windows 7 Home Premium 32 bit 6.1.7601 SP1 Build 7601.
The SkyDrive link for the CBS.log file is: http://sdrv.ms/SBPVYZ
Please see the attached results from running MGA diag tool.

Hmm - it's the first time I've ever seen these symptoms where there hasn't been a problem in one of those two registry keys.

Also, Copy the CBS.log file created to your desktop (you can't manipulate it directly) and then compress the copy and upload it to your SkyDrive (http://skydrive.live.com ) and post a link to it so that I can take a look.

Hmmm - apart from the obvious error message, that looks normal.

Which registry cleaner was it you used? Did it create backups you can use to undo what it did?
(if so, can you post them?)

Conventionally, according to MS, the Error 5 indicates massive file corruption - IMHO, what they really mean is registry corruption.

Does System Restore work? - try a restore back to about 3 days before the problem surfaced (if you can!)

Unfortunately I am not sure which Registry Cleaner did the damage as I have used 3 over the last 2 weeks.
Eusing Free Registry Defrag 2.0 Back-up created

CCleaner Registry Cleaner Back-up created

Norton 360 Registry Clean Up No back-up (that I know of)


As for System Restore, I do not seem to have any restore points
I will try and locate the above back-ups and and see if I can do anything there.

I used System Restore but the earliest back-up was 1/10/12. When I restored to that date it also removed my Norton 360?
I cannot locate a restore point for Eusing and the CCleaner only goes back to the 1/10/12.
By the Windows update the last one I received was on the 27/09/12, I cannot restore that far back, unfortunately.
Any ideas?

If you left CCLeaner at default settings, it should be innocent.

Norton would be my favourite for the cause. - but I know nothing about Eusing (and all registry cleaners are bad news, anyhow)

We've already established the problem isn't with the SPPSVC settings :)
that's what all the SC queries were about.

This reply is a continuation of my thread and in reply to Noel's questions.
I had McAfee which was supplied by my broadband supplier. I have though been using Norton 360 for at least 18 months. I do not believe it can be Eusing as there website specifies that it does not change the registry.
I appear to still have Norton 360 but it seems to be corrupted now.

I suggest that you run the Removal tools for bot McAfee and Norton, and then reinstall Norton (if you insist! :devil:)


Download the McAfee removal tool from:

http://download.mcafee.com/products/licensed/cust_support_patches/MCPR.exe


Click Save, and save the file to a folder on your computer.
Navigate to the folder where you saved the file.
right-click on MCPR.exe and select 'Run as Administrator' to run the removal tool.

when complete, reboot.


Download the Norton Removal Tool from here https://www-secure.symantec.com/norton-support/jsp/help-solutions.jsp?lg=english&ct=united+states&docid=20080710133834EN&product=home&version=1&pvid=f-home

Close all other programs, then run the tool. When it's complete, reboot the machine whether it asks for it or not.

Once complete, open an Elevated Command Prompt, and run the following command.

NETSH WINSOCK RESET

reboot again
now run another MGADiag report, and post the results.
THEN install an AV
