Programs were working, but stopped working about a month and a bit ago.

Have re-installed DirectX.
Have tricked DirectX to believe it is an earlier version and re-installed again.

Have installed most of the Windows updates. SP1 is failing to update and rolls back its install.

Have updated to the latest graphics drivers.
Have un-installed and re-installed the latest graphics drivers.
Have installed older graphics drivers.

Have verified that the two versions of d3d8thk.dll have exactly the same date and time as the same two versions that are on my other working computer.

Have performed sfc /scannow numerous times and restarted the PC after each.

Please note: Unable to upload the CBS.zip file as it is 20 MB in size. The maximum zip file for upload is 7.15 MB. (The CBS.log is 2.3 MB and three of the .cab files are quite large)
Please let me know if you need me to upload any or all of the files separately. I didn't want to just go ahead and hog server space without asking.

Have run SFCFix a couple of times and each time gave the same result as below:
SFCFix version 3.0.0.0 by niemiro.

Hello and welcome

Due to the precise nature of your corruption, you will receive help from a user named CKing123. He's one of our senior trainees here who's in his final phrase of his studies and needs to gain some real world experience in specific areas of Windows Update. This means that he'll be assisting you, but that I will first need to double check and approve his fixes before he posts them to you. If anything this is a good thing for you because it means that you've got at least two of us watching over your thread, but it will unfortunately add a slight delay between each reply. I hope that you understand and can accept the need for us to train up new members in this way in order to carry on doing what we do here, however, if for any reason you object to this setup, I will happily take on your thread myself.

Thank you very much for your understanding. We'll be with you very shortly.
 
Hello JRath and :welcome: to Sysnative :wave:

Have tricked DirectX to believe it is an earlier version and re-installed again.
Click to expand...
What exactly did you use to trick DirectX?

Don't worry about the CBS log. SFCFix listed some of the corrupted files, so I have created a fix based upon that. After running SFC, we will get the latest CBS log to continue from :)

SFCFix Fix
This fix is very specific for JRath's computer. Trying this fix on your own computer might damage your computer. If you are after assistance, create a new thread, and you will be assisted shortly.

Download SFCFix (by niemiro) and move the executable on your Desktop.
Download the attached View attachment SFCFix.zip and move the archive to your Desktop
Note: Make sure that the file is named SFCFix.zip, do not rename it.
Save any work you have open, and close every programs
Drag the SFCFix.zip file over the SFCFix.exe executable and release it
mMabJGT.gif
SFCFix will launch, let it complete
Once done, a file will appear on your Desktop, called SFCFix.txt
Open the file, then copy and paste its content in your next reply

Now, we run SFC scan:

SFC Scan
1. Click on Start :startorb: and type cmd. When Command Prompt appears, right-click on it, and click Run as Administrator
2. When command prompt opens, Copy (Ctrl+C) and Paste (Right-click > Paste) the following command into it, then press Enter
Code: 
sfc /scannow
3. Once it finishes, copy and paste the following into the command-prompt window and press Enter.
Code: 
copy %windir%\logs\cbs\cbs.log "%userprofile%\Desktop\cbs.txt"
4. Once this has completed please go to your Desktop and you will find CBS.txt => Right-click on this file and choose Send To...Compressed (zipped folder). Please upload this zipped file CBS.zip to this thread
Please Note:: if the file is too big to upload to your next post please upload via a service such as Dropbox or One Drive or SendSpace and just provide the link.

OMFG!!!!!!

I ran the SFC scan.
I ran the scannow.

Then, I tested a game that had stopped working.... AND IT'S WORKING.

Oh... sorry... I'm getting ahead of myself.
Firstly, to BrianDrab, thanks for the welcome. Yeah, no problems with having a trainee working on it. Everyone has to learn sometime. As you are assisting me, I think I can have a little patience. =)

Secondly, to CKing123, thanks for the welcome and thank you for the fix. I'm blown away. I've been trying to sort this problem for over a month now. If I could find where I packed the Windows install disks, I would have re-installed ages ago.

This is amazing. Many thanks.
I assume you don't need the information now that it's fixed, but I'll add it anyway because it was in your instructions.

I'll attach the CBS log (hopefully).
The SFCFix log is as follows:

Hello JRath

To fix the rest of the corruptions by SFC, we need to repair manifest damage using SURT:

System Update Readiness Tool (SURT)
1. Download and run the following file.
2. When it asks you if you wish to install, please answer yes. Note: It could take 15 minutes or more to run. Please don't cancel.
3. You will get an Installation Complete screen when it's done running.
4. Please attach the log from the following location. C:\Windows\Logs\CBS\CheckSUR.log

-CKing
 
Oh dear...
I do beg your pardon. I thought I'd done this already.
I ran the scan and pulled the log out to send... and then must have gotten distracted and not actually sent it.

Apologies.
