    Windows 7 System File Checker can't repair corrupted files

    I have run sfc /scannow a number of times (as an administrator) and I always get a message that says System File Checker has found corrupted files but cannot repair some of them.

    Windows 7 "Invalid partition table'

    I get this message during boot. If I click on "Enter", the boot continues normally. I also have lost the System Tray icon which allows you to disconnect external hardware safely. I've tried the bootrec command but it does nothing to fix the problems.

    Windows 7 New windows open BEHIND existing windows

    I use Windows 7 Professional 64 bit. Frequently, new windows open BEHIND existing windows. If I can grab the top of the new window, I can drag it. However, I cannot bring it to the top. Any fixes out there?

    Windows 7 When I show a text box, I automatically see: ////////////////////////////// or *********************

    Also, I uninstalled all my keyboard devices in Device Manager - then reinstalled them. But I have no idea who provided the drivers. Perhaps one of the drivers is defective. Where should I go to get the "correct" drivers?
