Windows start search dissappeared?

[win7help]

the SFC scan says that windwos resource protection found integrity violations. what does this mean???

Means there are some errors in your computer, restart to get them fixed. and post back.

still nothing i have restarted

1. Are you using a custom theme?
2. Right click on the Start and pick properties/customize/set to default.
3. You must run sfc /scannow until it fixes the problems if it can. It may take 3 or 4 times with reboot after each time. Windows 7 will not work properly until System File Checker comes up clean,(no problems).

i set it to default and the SFC scan can't fix the missing or corrupt files!!!

Before trying a repair install,do you have any restore point before the start search disappear?
