I have Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit. I haven't been able to run sfc /scannow for about 6 months now, though I've tried many, many times. I always use the elevated command prompt.

Here is the message I always get:

"Microsoft Windows [Version 6.1.7601]
Copyright (c) 2009 Microsoft Corporation.  All rights reserved.

C:\Windows\system32>sfc /scannow

Windows Resource Protection could not start the repair service.

C:\Windows\system32>"

That's it, no other helpful words.

I've googled all over and tried all the remedies proposed by various Microsoft MVPs and other qualified helpers on other forums, but nothing has yet enabled me to run the system file checker.

I've also run all the fixes in the Tweaking.com Windows Repair Custom Mode folder, but nothing changes.

I'd like to avoid doing an "in-place" system re-install. I just discovered this forum and thought I'd try once again.

Can anyone help? Thanks.   :smiley:
