    Windows 7 .net & windows installer corrupt?

    I've done the manual "check for updates" bit, no joy! ;( I've run several fixits! chkdsk checks OK. I'll run the command line command now from an elevated command prompt to see what happens. I'll sort out the logs too. Thanks again Saltgrass I really appreciate your help.

    Windows 7 .net & windows installer corrupt?

    I spoke too soon!!! Gutted, SFC now checks out OK. Just going to scandisk the machine from a boot disk. It keeps offering the same Windows updates, even though they list as OK. Important: 1 is for IE10, I have hidden that as I have not tried to install it. 5 are for .net 4, sound familiar...

    Windows 7 .net & windows installer corrupt?

    Thank you for your help Saltgrass, I appreciate it. I got there in the end by doing an in-situ upgrade to the existing OS, I could get none of the tools to work, nor could I find the files that I needed to replace. Thus, I bit the bullet downloaded & burnt one of the images you directed me to...

    Windows 7 .net & windows installer corrupt?

    Thanks again for your help Saltgrass. I generated the cbs.log file by, noting the time that I began the sfc tool, and then allowing it to run to completion, which it did not actually, but did seem to stop of its own accord part way through. I then copied the original cbs.log & renamed it. I...

    Windows 7 BSOD 0x...27 - rdbss.sys

    Thank you very, very much for the help. I thought that it was a network/file sharing linked type of problem. I disconnected all shares, to & from the machine today & removed all mapped drives, disabled & cleared all offline files on the machine, both ways. I also ran the machine all day on...

    Windows 7 BSOD 0x...27 - rdbss.sys

    Hello a newbie here. I've just moved all my data onto my new laptop & now I'm getting a BSOD regularly. I don't think it is data related as this was just pictures & documents put into my user folder. I don't know if it is worth removing the data to see if it goes away? I hope that I have run...
