I can't see the text in the window
Below you have a screenshot
Please help me!!! I need the updates!

Scan for viruses/malware/spyware/adware.

Only thing I can think of right now, I'll ask around and see if someone could be of more help than myself.

the antivirus didn't find any threats

**bigfellla** · 11-29-2007, 01:12 PM

Have you tried a system restore to before this was happening?

MisteRazvan · 11-29-2007, 01:24 PM

that can't help .. I have this problem since I've reinstalled the Windows

**bigfellla** · 11-29-2007, 01:32 PM

Well reinstall it again.

MisteRazvan · 11-29-2007, 01:37 PM

Easy to talk ha? I don't have the time nor the space to do a fresh install.. not untill I end with the exams. Plus, I'll have to install all the applications...

**bigfellla** · 11-29-2007, 01:59 PM

Tell me then... why did you not do it since "I have this problem since I've reinstalled the Windows"? You have a corrupt OS installation. You might find a fix, but it will always be buggy from now on.

If you must have your installation until exams then

1. Open an elevated command prompt. To do this, click Start, click All Programs, click Accessories, right-click Command Prompt, and then click Run as administrator. If you are prompted for an administrator password or for a confirmation, type the password, or click Allow.

2. Type the following command, and then press ENTER:
sfc /scannow

The sfc /scannow command scans all protected system files and replaces incorrect versions with correct Microsoft versions.

You will then need to reinstall all updates.

Code:

Verification 99% complete.Windows Resource Protection found corrupt files but was unable to fix some of them.

HUH?

MisteRazvan · 11-30-2007, 08:28 AM

really funny :).. I've reinstalled the Windows and then I entered the Windows Update.. ALL GOOD! I could see the text.. I've clicked Check for updates ... and on the module was "Windows Update needs to update first" or something like that. I've clicked.. he downloaded and restarted.. After that again NO TEXT!

**bigfellla** · 11-30-2007, 04:56 PM

You can run a "Repair Install" of Vista. It is more comprehensive than sfc.

dai · 12-02-2007, 01:36 PM

the only way i know to run a repair install in vista like in xp is to run the upgrade install

**bigfellla** · 12-06-2007, 12:40 PM

Agreed Dai, remember Miste you will need to start the vista dvd from within windows to access the upgrade solution.
