Win7 and XP problems - SFC locks and the other errors
Posted: Sat Apr 12, 2014 9:33 am
Hi All,
I have a Win7 machine but haven't run SFC for many months. Went to use it yesterday and the IDE opened then immediately dropped out every attempt.
Might be a Win problem requiring a reinstall so attempted the swordfish-si.exe - PC locks up. After rebooting looked up the Forum and see David's advice about clearing the TEMP directory - successfully cleared any "setup" files but a bunch of other stuff remains which I was denied access to deleting. Tried the install again, same result of lockup.
Tried the oldest restore point I had but same result. Ran a virus checker overnight but nothing found.
What's next to try before I reinstall Win7 please?
and...
Tried an XP laptop which did not have SFC intalled on before. Fully erased the c:\Windows\Temp directory and ran the installer. The normal Setup box opened and I pasted my key into it - half a second later I'm greeted with "Setup - Error (10035) and "An error has occurred. Unable to download installation file to host machine." I have internet access on the same machine.
Any help is gratefully appreciated.
Kind regards,
Bill
