[SOLVED] Pre-Repairs Scan Help

It does require the Cryptographic Services (CryptSvc) is running, can you check to see if that service is running?

I can see that it is running on Services, but I don't see it on the Task Manager...

The more I think about it, the more I agree with Rick's suggestion of doing a repair install. However, my OS came preinstalled and cannot get the ISO from microsoft's website, and I don't want to lose my files and program settings...

Shane:
I havent been able to find any safe download links for the ISO's either. I have them all myself of course, but they are 3GB and larger and I cant easily just upload them. So thanks to MS's decision to remove the ISOs, then the only way for a legit user to get a install disk is from torrent sites, which of course means there is more chance the user could get an infection if they dont know what they are doing.

Ok, I took the risk and got a Windows 7 iso file from a torrent site (no piracy here, I have the product key from OEM, and scanned it before using it). Did a upgrade install (to preserve my apps and other data), and it fixed my issues.

All Windows updates installed sucessfully. Pre repairs scan found no errors. System file checker tool found no issues.

Thanks to all that have helped me in this thread, as I wouldn't have solved my issues without them!

Shane:
Good to hear the repair install did the trick :-D

Still really crappy of MS to remove the ISO files, forcing people to grab them for torrent sites.
