Superfetch service missing.

<< < (3/3)

To Boggin,

In following your instructions I found that sppsvc was not started, and by using the last
(2) commands, i.e., net start sppsvc, and slui.exe, the 'non-genuine Windows' problem
went away.  Thank you so much for this.

I tried the 'System Update Readiness Tool' as you suggested.  Unfortunately, it did not
correct the computer freeze problem.

This has got to be one of the weirdest problems I've come across in all of my years of
computing.  That is, after restarting, everything comes up as expected.  However, when
clicking anywhere on the display the computer freezes for several hours, and then if left
alone it unfreezes itself.  After that it works like a charm.

If I look at Superfetch properties when the computer is working I see that the service
status is stopped.  Trying to start it gives me the error message as I originally reported. 
In retrospect, could this possibly not be a Superfetch problem after all, as initially thought,
and could be something else?

Boggin,  I can't thank you enough for spending so much of your time in attempting to
solve this problem.  It is people like yourself that are selfless, and truly are an inspiration
to help others.

To JPM,

I downloaded 'Tweak Prefetch' and found that Superfetch was already disabled.  I've tried
some of the different options, and so far nothing worked.  Do you think this problem might
be due to something else, as I've noted to Boggin?

Boggin:
Does Event Viewer have anything recorded for the freezes and time outs ?

jpm:
Did you try to re-enable superfetch?  That may be the underlying issue

You might want to try checking 2 things that come to mind. Help me here guys, but isn't there a command prompt in the start up for windows that establishes the delay for running which may have been affected somehow with a freak variable? May need to check how it is loading up.

Second is that if windows believed your copy was not legit, it does not actually run a full install over existing os, so may need to try that again after clearing the issue to see if what is missing can be restored?

Julian:
I hate to blame hdd on anything but have you done a chkdsk /f
The reason I ask is I've seen copy of windows 7 go none genuine when anything is "tampered" but it was just corruption of system files.
