Windows Repair (All In One)
Boggin:
Yes, I'll give that a go but it won't be until tomorrow sometime - getting on in the day now here in the UK.
I'd created my own restore point as well as using the program to back up as well and had disabled the AV until the next reboot and while I have the same programs on here as I do with the other laptop, there were no after effects with that one - so thought there must have been a glitch.
Shane:
Cool beans, let me know how it turns out :cheesy:

I'm a lot later running this than I intended but it froze the laptop again and with the same error.
The chkdsk check reported errors so ran the repair option which it whipped through the three stages but as I'd done a chkdsk /r yesterday which found nothing wrong, I checked Event Viewer which gave the same but the Logs that the program produced warned about false error reporting and the program chkdsk log reported a corrupt Bitmap.
This could be an error of the program.
I think the freeze occurs because Windows is repairing the registry during the boot process because the WMI repair deleted a number of keys.
The laptop seems to have recovered itself but I had some problems getting Norton 360 to work again
I had zipped the WMI log but am unable to find how to attach it to the post after placing it in the Attach: box.
Rather than copying & pasting such a large file, would you please advise on that and I can stick it in my next post.
Shane:
When posting you will see an attch option at the bottom, I think the max size of a file is 5 or 10 MB I cant remember.
The chkdsk reporting that the file system needs fixed isnt an error of my program but actually an error in Windows.
I searched and found that chkdsk is a different tool that the one used at boot which is autochk.exe. When I researched why chkdsk was reporting errors and autochk wasn't finding any it turns out that they are different programs, and chkdsk will sometimes report errors because the file or section it is scanning is in the middle of being written to, and so it thinks it is corrupt.
This is why chkdsk doesn't allow you to try to repair anything without dismounting the drive first, so that nothing is accessing it while it is running.
I am online right now and I would love to take look at the system while it is working like it is, if your up for it send me an email to shane at tweaking and we will use teamviewer and I will login and work with you and see if I can find what is going on :-)

I've seen the Attach/Browse box at the bottom but having placed it in there by using the Browse to point to it, it doesn't show up when I preview the post - do I need to do anything else ?
The .zip is just 7KB
I have no objections to you having a look around with Teamviewer but it's after 01:30 here in the UK and I have to be up and about and out in the morning.
I think if you have a look at the WMI repair report you will probably see what is causing the problem when it is deleting registry keys that perhaps it shouldn't.
