    Back after a visit to the virus/malware forum
    « on: February 28, 2009, 02:55:42 PM »
    I started this topic earlier today and have spent some time in the virus forum trying to get it fixed.

    http://www.computerhope.com/forum/index.php/topic,77847.0.html

    The problem as described in the thread is that after I click any of the user account icons to login, it goes through the welcome thingy and then seems to go to the desktop, but nothing can be seen...no icons..no menubar, tray or anything.
    When I do CTL,ALT DEL, task manager wont open due to an application failed error (0xc0000022)

    I have just run "sfc/scannow" and it is reporting corrupt files.

    Can anyone help me out?

        Ok thanks, I got to the sfc file and can see the errors in the log...i also read the next article which tries to explain how to fix the errors....but where do I get the source files?

        If the System File Checker tool cannot repair a file, follow these steps:
        At an elevated command prompt, type the following command, and then press ENTER:
        takeown /f Path_And_File_Name
        For example, type takeown /f E:\windows\system32\jscript.dll.
        Type the following command, and then press ENTER to grant administrators full access to the file:
        icacls Path_And_File_Name /GRANT ADMINISTRATORS:F
        For example, type icacls E:\windows\system32\jscript.dll /grant administrators:F.
        Type the following command to replace the file with a known good copy of the file:
        Copy Path_And_File_Name_Of_Source_File Path_And_File_Name_Of_Destination
        For example, type copy E:\temp\jscript.dll E:\windows\system32\jscript.dll.

        Do you have a restore CD or a recovery partition on your hard drive?

        If so, see if you can obtain the files from there.
