    When I reboot my computer I get an error message:

    LogonUI.exe – Corrupt File
    The file or directory C:\PROGRA~1\CommonFiles\microsoftshared\ink is corrupt and unreadable. Please run the Chkdsk utility.

    The check utility won't run. It tells me to schedule a scan next time Windows restarts, which I do, but it doesn't run.

    Computer model, OS etc would be most helpful.

    One of 2 things to try:

    . Boot up from the installation disk, choose repair and then command prompt. Then run CHKDSK C: /X/B. This automatically dismounts the C: drive and runs the chkdsk command.

    OR

    . Repair installation

    cheers ...

    my computer is a Toshiba Satellite P305 Laptop
    O/S is Windows Vista, 32-bit

    Vista was installed on the laptop when I purchased it, so I don't have an installation disk.

    Thanks for your help!
