Shoot me an email, I have time now. I take the weekends off to spend time with the wife and kids. So now is a good time :-)

Hi,
               This is from microsoft help
           If you try to reinstall Internet Explorer 11 after you recently uninstalled the program, the installation process may not be successful. This issue may occur because the system has not finished removing temporary setup files that are required for the initial installation of the program. If this issue occurs, we recommend that you wait 20 minutes before you try to reinstall Internet Explorer 11.

@jraju:  Yes, I saw this notice... but it is not the issue on my system.  There were several days between first uninstalling IE11 and the attempt to re-install.  But thanks for your input.

@Shane:  Thanks so much for your help.

Folks, Shane spent several hours troubleshooting my system and the result was finding my HDDs starting to fail.  Some had hundreds of re-allocated bad sectors, and were showing lag times between read and write... which more than likely accounted for the corrupt files producing errors.  His AIO program quit when presented with an empty file that should have had important data (we are not quite sure why this file was empty, but Shane will find out, of this I am sure).

Bottom line:  If it weren't for the AIO program, I would not have discovered my impending crash.  I now have time to install new drives and save my data before the BSOD rears its ugly head.

Hi, I very much doubt that it shows empty, even when it has data, because of file system errors. Normally your file system is ntfs . If there is corruption in it, it cannot scan. Shane, am I correct?. Indirectly it means that your file system got corrupted in its file structure. If this is the error, then this link may help

Not in this case. The manifest file that was keeping the repair from running was still the same size as it should be but everything in the file was just blank spaces. This is because the file had been on a bad sector and now no longer was but the file info was lost. I copied the text over and saved it and it saved fine and started working.

It wasn't a bad file structure, it was actual bad hardware and bad sectors. If it was bad file structure I wouldnt have been able to save the file with the new data.
