I've ran the sfc /scannow from the CMD window as an admin and I got the following message. What should I do next?

Link Removed due to 404 Error

I had the same problem when I ran the scan I ran it to try and fix an issue with installing programs that use windows installer the scan did not work so I did a repair installation and it worked i ran the can no issues came up and i could install things he might need to do a repair installation!!! he did not take that long just select upgrade in installation options ans let it work its magic

Gil, when you first installed 7, did you upgrade or do a clean install?

I'm afraid to mess with the system too much... it is stable but with an issue I mentioned earlier and now from some reason some stuff takes too much time to load like office outlook

I'm going out on a limb here and guess that you did an upgrade. I can't find where you said you did a clean install... and ALL this mess you are dealing with is so typical of upgrading. You have two options... 1. live with it, be afraid every time you turn your system on that it may not boot up or... 2. backup and do a clean install and go on to enjoy the things you would normally do if you weren't working on and waiting on your system to respond.

Ditto... It's what i would have done ages ago...

I'm telling you I did a clean install. A real clean install... when you format your hard drive and all of that... there's no cleaner then that.

Hi Gil80,
try using the repair utility. Change your boot order to boot from disk then reboot with the disk in the drive remembering to press any key when prompted. When you reach the install page click on repair instead..
Another way you could try and fix this is to re-install but using the 'upgrade' method that way you won't lose your files and folders..
