Windows Features

Just amazing! Thanks for the guide

Hi,

My windows features dialog box is empty.

Some background: I recently had a corrupt user profile which i tried to use your other tutorials to fix which didn't solve my problem in the end so i created a new account and moved the files and folders (my documents) across to the new account and deleted the old corrupt account.

Following this i thought i may as well see what i can do about speeding my machine up a bit so i have been making my way through your list to speed up my system performance.

I got to this tutorial and have found that the windows features dialog box is empty. I followed the link at the top of the page and ran the system file checker and it told me that some files were corrupt but could not fix them. I tried to open the cbs.log file but access is denied (i am the administrator).

I have tried this: How to analyze the log file entries that the Microsoft Windows Resource Checker (SFC.exe) program generates in Windows Vista

but after typing: findstr /c:"[SR]" %windir%\logs\cbs\cbs.log >sfcdetails.txt

into the command prompt i get nothing

I haven't done a system restore yet as i am a bit concerned that it may return me to a corrupt user profile?

Do you have any ideas?

Thanks

Alex

Hello Alex, and welcome to Vista Forums.

It sounds like you didn't open a elevated command prompt (run as administrator) to run the SFC /SCANNOW command in. See if the tutorial below may be able to help with this and the sfcdetails.txt file.
