Hi PeterJ,
Thanks for your response, however, I actually got the corrupt file fixed myself. It was a good learning experience and I feel really good that I was able to do it myself. I will no longer have any fear of corrupt files in the future. I discovered the SFCFix.exe tool on Sysnative and I have found out it is one heck of a tool. I decided to read some tutorials on manually fixing a corrupt file and SFCFix.exe told me exactly which file on my Desktop was bad. My Laptop has the exact same Win7 so I copied a good file with a USB drive and pasted it on my Desktop desktop.
I was all set to enter ALL of the TUTORIAL commands into command prompt to fix the file -- but first, just to be sure I had the exact corrupt file targeted, I decided to run SFCFix.exe once again.
Well, it really surprised me, instead of showing me my corrupt file again, it announced that it had found (all on its own) the good file on my desktop and had fixed the bad one. -- And sfc says all is good now.
I saw that you are very swamped there and I just want to say that I am very thankful we have Sysnative, and caring professionals like you, that we can ask for help with these too often unpredictable machines.
