No, I don't use it, but there were some 20 files left that I deleted now after having read your answer.
I assume you're on an non english version of Vista ?
Right, I run a French one.
- Put the logs for the 1st run in one zip file and attach them to your next reply. Go to the folder with the logs of the 2nd run, go up one level and you'll see - at least - (the) 2 folders with logs.
Here come the two folders zipped as you suggested.

Willy2:
- OK. One more question: what's the French name for the folder with the Temporary Internet Files of Internet Explorer ? In english it's "Temporary Internet Files" but what's the French name ? Can you pull that name up ?
- I'll go throught the attached files and see if there's something odd/weird.
Willy2:
- The logs exposed one small bug in repair #07 when run on a 32 bits system.
- Since you're on a French version of Vista, please open the Services window (Services.msc). Tell me whether or not the description of a number of Services has changed from french to english after running Windows Repair.
I know VSS can be a REAL "Pain in the a**". But there're still a number of things that we can try.
- Run only "Repair VSS" and nothing else. Does that help ?
ftr:
Hi Willy,
the names of the services or their description seem not to have changed their langue.
I shall do a separate repair of VSS.
I looked for the French name for IE Temporary Internet Files but the windows search shows the location c:\(user name)\AppData\local\temporary internet files. So the English name remains in a French Vista installation.
If I search the term on the pc I find Internet explorer 7 (without "modules complémentaires")
When I open IE and type www.google.com into the address bar the answer is: address not reachable. - But using IE is not a question for me today.
- Regarding "System Restore Points" : Did you run among others "Repair Volume Shadow Copy" ? Did you run "Beta Repairs" ?
I did all the steps but now don't see under which menu I find the entries for Repair Volume Shadow Copy" or "Beta Repairs" .
Now, and this is important to me, my principal stats program, SPSS, does not run after the repairs as it should: When clicking on a file name to open data or syntax files this makes the prog start but often - not always - SPSS does not open the data or the syntax file.
BTW: I think the whole mess started with running ASO3 DiskOptimizer.
Boggin:
If you are only using IE 7 then you may not be able to reach www.google.com - it may be the same even if you upgrade to IE 8 but other browsers are supported.
However, you can upgrade to IE 9 for Vista.

In IE if you click on the Tools cog then on About Internet Explorer it will tell you the version you are using.
