    Have you got the "new" Windows Update?
    (Win7 style) - that's my first thought...

    ...second thought... something broke... try sfc /scannow in cmd to check system files,

    if it still doesn't think - what about malware?

    yepp, open "cmd" and type sfc /scannow

    sfc is the system file checker - it will check every system file an replace/repair damaged/corrupted ones - google it if you are unsure about it :)

    i try to type sfc/scannow but nothing happens...

    this is the result "you must be an administrator running a console in order to use sfc utility"

    I find it strange that it find corrupted files it couldn't fix... I know it often finds corrupted files, but as far as I am aware it always fixes them - if its not Windows Update its still strange...

    Nice you found an error code :)
    Googling led me to these two:

    Exactly what part of "please don't double post or cross post" don't you understand. Please read the forum rules. Posting the same message in the same thread three hours latter is ridiculous. One of the moderators has already refered you to the rules.

    @ Zoovido. I merged some of your posts. Do not repeat the same thing over and over in separate posts either. There is an edit button if you need to add onto a post a few minutes later instead of making a new post.
