UPDATE: Corrupt system files found...now what?

[mavigozler]

Out of habit:

Start->cmd (run as Administrator)

sfc /scannow

Here is the output:

===============
Beginning system scan. This process will take some time.

Beginning verification phase of system scan.
Verification 99% complete.Windows Resource Protection found corrupt files
but was unable to fix some of them.
Details are included in the CBS.Log windir\Logs\CBS\CBS.log. For example
================

I looked at the log hoping to find the name(s) of the corrupt files, and
instead found a log file that was completely unreadable except by an
android with a positron neural transmission system.

Now what do I do?

Use of System Restore gives me feelings of nausea. The many times I tried
it, it shrugs its shoulders.

Vista often doesn't seem to install properly for some unknown reason. I
reformatted and reinstalled Vista 3 times on one of my machines until I
finally got it ot work properly. So reformat and reinstall and make sure
that your installation disk is clean.

You can't repair corrupted files. OK, maybe if you're a Microsoft Windows
Engineer with the source code to work with you'll be successfull. People
like us just re-install.
