I’ve a Vista Ultimate installed on a DELL Latitude D620 laptop. The problem
started a few weeks ago when Symantec Antivirus reported catching Clone War
(1) on my computer. I’ve since done a few clean scans using various scanning
programs but some system files seems to have been lost or are corrupted. I
tried running sfc /scannow under admin cmd window and also after starting
the recovery cmd window, but got the same message both time:

Windows Resource Protection could not perform the requested operation.

Even the automated recovery option to fix boot problem failed. I’m able to
boot up the windows and its generally funtinal but quite a few things are not
working e.g. I can’t open the personalize window from the desktop right click
menu.

Unitl late last week I was able to run the sfc and it reported a whole bunch
of problems but did not automatically fix anything. I didn't have time to
look into manually fixing things but now even that's not working.

Please help!

If you are sure the system is clean, the quickest solution might be a repair
install of Vista.

I'm unsure of what you mean here. How do you do a repair install of Vista?
An in place upgrade that was available in XP was not carried over to Vista.

If you start the Vista DVD while in Vista, begin the installation,you will
be offered the ability to "upgrade". An upgrade over a current install of
Vista has the same effect as a repair install in XP in that it will install
Vista while keeping intact your documents, settings and programs.

Hello,
Right now a reinstall or upgrade may be the best choice.
From the looks of the log file the prblem appears to be corruption in the
store which is causing this.
Thanks,

Thanks Jim & Darrell!

I like the reinstall idea and I'm in the process of tyring it. I started the
install from within Windows environment but didn't get the upgrade option
first time as it needs ~8GB free space on the system drive. I've Vista
installed on a 20GB partition but only had ~4GB free, so I'm working on
cleaning up some space but it seems to be a tough order at this point. I'll
post the results once I'm able to create the space.

Regards,

What I've done on small partitions is to delete hiberfil.sys, turn off
system restore, and move the page file to another partition. That should be
good for about 4gb.

Hi Darrell, can you confirm whether one can do a repair install, buy
reinstalling Vista on top of itself to fix problems as in the in place
upgrade in XP?

Thanks

I have actually done this on two computers running Vista Ultimate and it
worked just like a repair install in XP. I did use a full version of Vista
if that makes a difference. I'm glad I didn't read that this didn't work or
I might not have tried it.
