sfc /scannow only runs to 12%

Tech-Archive recommends: Fix windows errors by optimizing your registry




ladies n Gents,

I am not really that computer savy, but after reading several posts
from different sites and this pretty cool place, I have learned a bit.

I have a Dell Inspiron 1721 laptop running Vista Home Premium. About a
month ago, when I got home from the desert, I noticed that it was not
installing updates. The last to install in a long line of "successful"
updates was "windows update agent 7.2.6001.788" There after, most
everything would fail with the exception of the sporadic malicious
software removal tool or junk email filter. Also, when watching movies
in WMP, it would result in the blue screen of death, but restart fine.

So I looked at the installed updates to see if I could locate the
"windows update agent 7.2.6001.788". The last one to successfully updae
and delete it and then reinstall it, but I didn't I didn't see it listed
by name or date installed.

After reading a lot here and there about the update issue, I came about
the sfc /scannow. I figured out how to get it in the command elevated
prompt and in administrative mode. It would only run to 12% and stop
but sfc/ verify would run to completion. So checking the cbs.log file,
it had a ton of stuff in there, but I have no idea what I am looking at.
Would it be appropriate to post it in here, or is there a location to
copy it to elsewhere?

Again, I'm not to smart on this stuff, anything that would help would
be appreciated.

Thank you in advance,

Jake
