my fault for not explaining it....
well at least we can go somewhere....

so when you to file start new task
you type cmd
does it show on the title bar Administrator?

if it does then type sfc /scannow...

 

[RAHU]

no it does not, it just opens the regular command propt.

 

[darkassain]

no it does not, it just opens the regular command propt.

wait are you doing this in safe mode?

when you boot up in safe mode it should give at least two users one them being administrator...

choose that one and open task manager...
and do what was outlined before...
your command prompt window should show this...

 

[RAHU]

sorry didn't know it had to be in safe mode

but the scan came back with no violations or w/e

 

[darkassain]

ok
run this http://live.sysinternals.com/procexp.exe
follow this ok...
click on the yellow gear twice until you can get a screen like this...

 

[RAHU]

ok i got that, but mine doesnt have the yellow gear, what do i go to instead?

 

[darkassain]

its okay if you dont have the yellow gear
if you have this then one click should be enough...

 

[RAHU]

ok i have two "locale.nls" files that have no company name but it wont let me delete them. It says i need permission to delete it where i then press continue, but then it sais i need permission again and theres no continue button

is that all you have that do no have a company names?
where are looking for .dll files...:huh:
wait how many accounts do you have?
if you have two are you having the same problem on both?
if not then can you create a new account (has to be administrator) and see if you can delete them from there...

 

[RAHU]

sorry i lied there's two dll files, but i still can't delete them i'm gunna try in safe mode though

 

[darkassain]

sorry i lied there's two dll files, but i still can't delete them i'm gunna try in safe mode though

hold on before you do that can you name these two dll files?

if you already have done it then before you shutdown can you do one more sfc /scannow

 

[RAHU]

sorry i deleted them all ready, but i dint run the scan before i rebooted it normally. I'm still having the same problem though

 

[RAHU]

but i didnt delete the .nls files, do u think i should?

So what you go to do is first a CHKDSK then a SFC.

Run Command Prompt as Admin.

Type chkdsk

Microsoft(R) Windows Vista(TM) will check for errors on Primary Logical Drive /C:

Continue on until it is done.


Run Command Prompt as Admin

type "sfc /scannow"

Microsoft (R) Windows Vista(TM) System File Check will scan for missing/corrupted files and restore them with factory copies.


After this is done, restart, and you should be done!

i did what you said Computer Age, and im still having the same problem. However the chkdsk came back with a problem when it was checking indexes and had to stop
