No, desktop is not responsive. 

 

After search ended I received this message

 

The file or directory

c:\users\user\appdata\local\microsoft\windows\wer\reportarchive\appcrash_ctfmon.exe_3038eb2ef9bb10fc573a5b7f55087b1a20f8de_0545c4c4 is corrupt and unreadable. Please run the chkdsk utility.

 

I attached the log.

I cannot run some software now and getting error.

 

Does it matter if that file user32.dll is on a 64bit system?

No it was replace from the 64bit cache ..

Could you run a fresh FRST scan now and include the additions.

What are the programme errors that you are getting ?

Please download Farbar Recovery Scan Tool and save it to your Desktop.

Note: You need to run the version compatible with your system. If you are not sure which version applies to your system download both of them and try to run them. Only one of them will run on your system, that will be the right version.
  • Right click to run as administrator (XP users click run after receipt of Windows Security Warning - Open File). When the tool opens click Yes to disclaimer.
  • Select additions at the bottom
  • Press Scan button.

  • It will produce a log called FRST.txt in the same directory the tool is run from.
  • Please attach both logs generated.

OK there are two possible causes for this one is Visual c++ error in which case a re-install will fix it http://www.microsoft...s.aspx?id=13523
The other is a bad sector on your drive in which case a chkdsk will cure that

Which one would you like to try first ?

The logs look OK but, then you did throw everything at it bar the kitchen sink :)
