Soreloser:
I installed the all in one repair program last week and it seems to be doing a good job of repairing what was wrong with my system. I still have some problems and just don't know for sure what to do about them. One of the repairs is called "restore important windows services". When I looked at the repair logs, it said Error:  The system cannot find the file specified on the first line, Error:  The file or directory is not a reparse point on the second line, Error:  The system cannot find the file specified again on the third line, then Error:  The file or directory is not a reparse point the rest of the way down the page. I am wondering just what were the services that the repair was trying to restore, and how would they have been deleted, how is my windows working without these services, and how do I put them back? Lotsa questions huh? I appreciate any help you could give . Thanks, Soreloser.

Shane:
You can ignore those errors in the logs. One of the commands I have it do is remove any junction points created on the windows defender folder and the service keys. Some viruses add junktion points to them so that they get redirected to a different location. So I try to remove them and if there are no junction links on them then you get that error in the log :-)

What problems are you still having with windows?

Soreloser:
Still having issues with freezing up during some programs. Picture Viewer sometimes loads very slow and sometimes quits. When I try to close it with task manager it says "com surrogate" has stopped responding. I have since found out that this is part of WMI, which on going back through the logs created by your program, is something it was trying to fix. I guess there isn't a way to reload these files without installing windows again? I am getting that these WMI files keep track of everything going on in windows. Could it be that there are too many services and programs running for it to keep up? I would appreciate any help. Thanks, Soreloser

 I'm back like a bad penny. I have another question. When I go to device manager and open the UMBus root enumerator, virtual drive enumerator,composite bus enumerator, iSCSI initiator, ancillary driver for winsock, and several more devices, (nearly all of the hidden ones) there is on the general screen a spot for location. All of those mentioned have unknown written in. Guess I'd like to know if that is causing me trouble? Thanks again, Soreloser

Shane:
By any chance have you done a bad sector check on the drive yet?

Open a cmd.exe window as administrator and type in

chkdsk c: /f /r

It will come up and say the drive is in use and would you like to schedule it for next boot, hit Y and enter.

Now reboot the system, the chkdsk should start, if it doesnt try again. And the /r tells it to look for bad sectors. This scan can take a few hours depending on the size of the drive :wink:

Soreloser:
I've run check disc from Windows and then your program does it also, but haven't run it in dos. I will give it a try and get back with you. Later, Soreloser. PS: Thanks again for taking time to help.
