J JohanM Contributor Joined Mar 20, 2022 Posts 37 Feb 19, 2023 #1 Have been trying off and on to update my old Windows 7 PC - have had multiple errors when running Windows Update for over a year, and was going to try to upgrade directly to Windows 10 without updating but when i try to do a system backup, I get an 'Access is Denied (0x8007005)' error. Before going any further (and potentially turning my PC into a boat anchor), I read great things about Sysnative, and thought I would give you a try. Not sure if this is enough to get started - the ComponentsScanner file is attached and here is the linked to the CBS.zip file Gofile - Free Unlimited File Sharing and Storage. Please let me know - thanks, John Attachments ComponentsScanner.txt 714 bytes · Views: 1

The latest information doesn't show that error. Please do following so we get more information about your machine. FRST Scan: Download the Farbar Recovery Scan Tool and save it to your Desktop: 64-bit: Downloading Farbar Recovery Scan Tool Note: Your antivirus program may report FRST incorrectly as an infection. If so, disable the real-time protection when downloading and running FRST. Right-click to run the tool as administrator. When the tool opens click Yes to disclaimer. Note: Ensure that the Addition.txt check box is checked at the bottom of the form within the Optional Scan area. Press the Scan button. Please wait for the tool to finish. It will produce two logfiles called FRST.txt and Addition.txt in the same directory the tool is run from (which should be the desktop) Post the logfiles FRST.txt and Addition.txt as attachment in your next reply.

J JohanM Contributor Joined Mar 20, 2022 Posts 37 Feb 21, 2023 #7 I cannot find a method to uninstall the AOL uninstaller - I can uninstall the old AOL software but i don't see a means to remove the uninstaller itself. I did locate the uninstaller executable if that helps... I also cannot locate the Microsoft VC9 runtime libraries, and/or how to uninstall them (they do not show up in the Uninstall list in the control panel). Please let me know if you can point me in the right direction (my lack of knowledge in this regard is very apparent - sorry!)
