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.

    Yeah thats all great, i got this problem now.

    ****, i dont even have a CD-rom drive in my computer havent had that for atleast 6 years now (since summer 2006)..

    Need a tool to repair my install, cant really be bother completing some silly process. it should just work, or autorepair via a downloadable tool.
