Go Start>Run ("Start Search" in Vista/7), type in:
sfc /scannow
Click OK (hold CTRL, and SHIFT, hit Enter in Vista/7).
Have Windows CD/DVD handy (with Vista/7, most likely, you won't need it).
If System File Checker (sfc) will find any errors, it may ask you for the CD/DVD (rarely in Vista/7 case).

I tried doing that but for some reason it has some error and closes in less then a second.


"You must be an administrator running a console session in order to use the sfc utility." When I run it as an administrator it still closes..

"sfc" won't show any "done" messages.
Navigate to C:\Windows\Logs\CBS folder. You'll see CBS.log file.
Open it in a Notepad and see, if there is a bunch of entries with today's date.

[Jir]

There is two files: CBS.log and CbsPersist_20100714005129.cab. I tried to open the CBS.log but got Access is denied, but I was able to open the CbsPersist_20100714005129.cab one. The dates go from July 2 to July 13.

Copy CBS.log to your desktop and open it from there.

[Jir]

It worked. In this it has dates from July 14 to today.

[Broni]

IF, you ran "sfc" today, delete all entries from that log, except for today ones, zip the file and attach the file to your next reply.
I'd like to take a look.

It doesn't look, "sfc" ran at all.

I suggest, you run repair installation: http://www.w7forums....tall-t1204.html

[Jir]

Repair installation is not going to do anything because I've had this problem ever since I've set up my Windows 7 computer....

[Broni]

Was it a clean install, or some upgrade?

[Jir]

Clean install..

[Broni]

Legit Windows DVD?
See, if you have very same problem in Safe Mode with Networking.

[Jir]

I do...

[Broni]

Just to clarify.
Are we talking here about downloading, or installing programs?
What browser do you use?
