Can't run the sfc /scannow command in Win 7
Bubba Euler:
Frank, I'm glad everything else in Win 7 is working, as WAS mine, as well. The in-place Up Grade worked easily and the only "problem" I had was that my "Protected Folder", which is protected from without, not from within the OS, had all of its contents re-located in the Temp Files produced by the Win 7 Up Grade. I simply found them and moved them back into my "Protected Folder". I had to tell IObit where the file(s) were placed. HA!
Thank you, Shane!! And God bless you and your family and your coffee maker...

Try running the sfc /scannow as the Administrator. To run CMD as Admin, type CMD in the search box, right on CMD at the top of menu. Click on Run as Administrator, the sfc /scannow worked.
If something does not work without Admin then exit the CMD and restart using the Admin. Some times call the leveled CMD.http://www.tweaking.com/forums/Smileys/smillhey/sarcastic.png

JeR,
Thank you for your suggestion. However, I have always used the CMD command as an Administrator. In my original post I said, "I always use the elevated command prompt." In practice, the term "using the elevated command prompt" means the same as "running as Administrator." Sorry for the confusion. By the way, I still have the problem, but I've learned to live with it. When things get to be unlivable I'll do the in-place upgrade. :smiley:
