Click Start

Type: CMD, from the results, right click CMD

Click 'Run as Administrator'

At the Command Prompt, type: sfc/scannow

This will check for any integrity violations

Restart your system

  1. Insert the Windows 7 DVD
  2. Restart your computer
  3. When asked if you want to boot from your DVD drive, do so.
  4. Choose your language, click Next.
  5. Click 'Repair your computer'
  6. Select operating system you want to repair.

    I tried this and got the message "Windows Resource Protection could not start the repair service."

    Now what? I'm experiencing some severe problems, i.e Can't access my hard drives, can't access Control Panel. Getting the message that Intellipoint software has probllems, but when download and try to install the 8.02 version, I get the message that a later version is already running and it won't install.

    I had a remote repair service work on this for 3 hours and they finally gave up. I tried to boot from the Windows 7 CD, thinking that it had gotten corrupted, but no dice.

    If you could link me to a downloadable file of a windows installer for Windows 7, that would be great. I, for one, cannot find one.
