Hello, I'm having an issue with opening one application with crashes upon startup, I started to check my W7 Pro SP1 installation with various scan tools from command line and it looks like a mess. I'm attaching all logs. Is there still hope or do I need a clean install? This is pretty critical computer to me with many things that I won't be able to recreate upon reinstall or upgrade to W10. Any help is greatly appreciated, I've hit a stone wall, tried everything.

This is the output of SFCFix program:

Thank you, that computer is doing daily backups of everything important to external server.
Is there a high risk of damage to the OS when attempting this repair?
Should I image the entire drive?

I just want you to have a backup, just in case. With all those corrupted files the drive might be failing.
A repair should not damage an OS.
The repair attempt will be done in several steps due to the amount of corrupted files.

Executed. I just received a new SSD (best one I could get) to image this system onto it once it's all fixed up nicely in order to be sure that no further deterioration of this system occurs. Is there any preferred imaging tool that I should use? I used HDClone before, but I don't like how it only allows me to scale the partitions proportionally, which makes no sense for the 100MB or so hidden system partitions. Especially when I want to go from a 64GB to a 480GB drive. Waste of resources.

Provide the Components Hive
1. Navigate to C:\Windows\System32\Config and locate the COMPONENTS file.
2. Please copy this file to your desktop.
Note: If you receive an error that this file is in-use, simply reboot your computer and try again. Note: If you find that you need to reboot and are unable to because this is a server then try Option#2 below.
3. Right-click on this file on your desktop and select Send To...Compressed (zipped) folder. This will create a file named COMPONENTS.ZIP on your desktop.
4. The file will likely be too large to upload here so please upload to Filedropper or WeTransfer and just provide the link here.

Option#2 (only if you are unable to follow the previous instructions)

  • Please download the Freeware RegBak from here: Acelogix Software - Download products
     You will find it at the bottom of the page that the link brings you to.
  • Go ahead and install this program and accept all the defaults. After the last install screen the program should open.
  • Click the New Backup button. Accept the defaults and simply click Start.
  • When it says Finished successfully, click the Close button.
  • This will bring you back to the main screen of the program. You will see one entry in this list with the date that you did it. Right-click on this line-item and select Explore Backup...
  • This will bring you into the folder where the backup was made. You should see a Users folder and a Windows folder along with a couple other files. Double-click on the Windows folder to open it. Then open the System32 folder and then config folder. You should see around 6 files in here, one of which is named COMPONENTS.
  • Copy the COMPONENTS file to your Desktop. If the COMPONENTS file does not exist, please fetch it instead from C:\Windows\System32\config\COMPONENTS.
  • Now right-click on the COMPONENTS file that is on your desktop and select Send to > Compressed (zipped) folder.
  • Then please upload the zip file (COMPONENTS.zip) to your favourite file sharing website (it will be too big to upload here). Examples of services to upload to are Filedropper or One Drive or WeTransfer and then just provide the link in your reply.
  • You can close any open windows you have as well as the RegBak program now.
