Hi,
I am running Vista Home Premium x32 SP1 on a Dell XPS [email protected] GHz.
Whenever I try to run sfc /scannow it stops at either 39% or 69% ('Windows Resource Protection could not perform the requested operation')and at the same time I get a pop-up message 'Windows modules installer stopped working and was closed'.
I decided to run the sfc because yesterday morning I found my pc with a blue screen and the dreaded 'Windows has encountered a fatal error...' message. It booted successfully but I noticed several things (so far): all entries from System restore had disappeared, Windows updates had failed several times in the last 3 days trying to install Windows Vista SP2 (KB948465), and the 'uninstall/repair program' button in the control panel did not work (when I right-click over a highlighted program I only get two empty squares and no options). So I could not restore the system, could not update it and could not uninstall the most recent programs that might have caused the problem.
The next step was to do a repair install since I have the original Dell installation DVD for Vista SP1 but the upgrade was also unsuccessful - in the beginning of the installation I got a pop-up window with the message: [FONT="]setup.exe - Bad Image : C:\Windows\system32\uniplat.dll is either not designed to run on Windows or it contains an error. Try installing the program again using the original installation media or contact your system administrator or the software vendor for support. [/FONT]I clicked 'Ok', the installation ran for about 1 1/2 hours and afterwards a message informed me that it was not successful and my system was being restored to its previous state.
Any idea what might be wrong with this computer? The only thing I have done recently with the system is deleting the infcache.1 file from C:/Windows/Inf because had a problem with the usb drivers and it was the only thing that worked.
I have run multiple virus and malware scans which did not discover anything suspicios.
Any help will be immensely appreciated!
Here are the logs from the last SFC /SCANNOW (load of errors
