It's the sfc /scannow command we used earlier. Rshaffer, sfc returned no errors, when he did it earlier.

I suggest you post in the Vista Forums, and give a link to this topic. I have very little experience working with Vista.

Looks like you went with a reinstallation. Did you lose the stuff that you wanted to keep? Also, it's good to see that this is resolved. :)
