OK!!! Final update I hope. Saltgrass, thank you VERY much for your support, your ideas, suggestions & links have been very informative & helpful. When sat in front of a PC on your own, it is difficult to see the wood from the trees often. I'm used to machine fault finding, but often have others...

I can now repair or uninstall the .net 4 apps. So, I am now uninstalling the both of them! Extended gone OK. Rebooting... OK, Now to remove the other .net 4 app. OK. Reboot. Then MS updates...

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.

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...

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...

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...

OK, Managed to run chkdsk & fix "faults". Also got SFC to run and got loads of errors in the cbs.log file. Anyone able to advise please? it seems like the "backup" versions of some of the files are also corrupt? Is there any way to get "new" copies of these into the correct places without a...

Thank you Saltgrass. Part of the .net 4 system, the "Extended" section, will not repair from the add/remove programmes feature, this is one of my issues. Have also tried the full downloaded installer package. Have just created a repair disk, this time it worked! Things are getting better, booted...

Help! Please. Not sure how much information to put, or how to lay it out, so I have done the best I can. Sorry it is so long. Other half's Toishiba SatellitePro has just broken itself! Running Win 7 Pro 32 bit. Not a new machine been running fine for a while now. Hardware all seems OK. It may...

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...

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...
