| Gene, Read your post at LZD. Take a peek at the link below. I just read it today via a posted hyperlink from somewhere. I don't remember if it was originally from here or not. DA |
Here is a link that might be useful: Help Desk Geek.

| Thanks DA, that appears to be for Win7..GD's is Vista64..Been thru all the suggestions there and more..that is why I believe there is a nasty submerged somewhere and thought best to go LD and let the nastie experts at it...lol |

| Maybe the darling granddaughter needs to stop downloading pirated material? Sure seems an easy way to avoid exposure to nasties... |
|
| All I can do is warn her...she is an adult and what she chooses to do with that info is up to her..and RC..for your info..she only brought the computer in for a few hours this afternoon and the people at Lzdown were unable to complete her post before she had to leave..so until the job is complete, she will be logged in as me (saugen) and on completion, will log out and register an account for herself... |

| Your Granddaughter just replied, Gene. Strangely, the dll for System File Checker is shown as missing in her ComboFix log as well as two other drivers. |
|
| I seen that...have no idea what may have happened.she hasnt called and asked anything..I believe her and the kids may be coming in today unless the plan changed..If she is and normally calls before she does, I will get her to bring the laptop with her again so we can carry on with this and find out what happened |
|
| Dont know if its possible to find the missing sfc dll and download..gee hope so, as she does not have vista installation disks, only the restore disks that were made, but would hate to have to reload both SPs and all subsequent updates |
|
| corrine_mvp..new game plan..apparently wont be any time while in here for laptop doings..MIL and 13 of her cronies will be arriving this pm on a small bus from their retirement home and we are apparently hosting them for tea/coffee, cake and cookies sort of thing..So dont imagine Ash will have time to carry on with this until she gets home later this pm or evening |

| Hi, Gene. I hope the "tea & cookie" thing was a success. With the recovery disks that were made, Ashley should be able to do a system repair, not a reinstall. She could also try installing the missing files from the links I provided at the end of the thread. |
|
| I think that is the game plan..once she removes what she wants from the puter, she is going to set a restore point then do the 3 .dll file downloads and installation..should all go well, she will touch base on the other forum for a new scan..if that works, good, if not, then will use the restore disks..I dont think I have ever seen a system repair option with the disks or are you refering to the restore partition on the HDD..ie: Last known working config etc... |
