Hi, Ralph.
When I plug that phrase, "intelide.sys is corrupt", into Google, I get 687
hits. Some of them look promising.
Whoops! At least some of them have simply "slurped" THIS conversation from
this MS public news server! :>( I've NEVER posted to
http://forums.techarena.in, but there I am - and you, too! Ditto
http://www.tabletquestions.com.
I don't have time to comb through all those hits, but it appears that some
date back to at least 2005, and some involve WinXP or Win2K, before Vista
even existed. If you were running WinXP, I would have already suggested a
Repair Install (also known as an in-place upgrade). But I haven't had
occasion to try that with Vista. I've used System Restore (not System
Recovery) once, with excellent results.
About all I can think of is the old faithful: backup and then reformat that
volume and reinstall Vista. No fun, and not a quickie, but you've been
fighting this for over a week already, so...
Good luck, Ralph.
When you find the solution, please post back so that we can tell others.
