With either of the installs you will need to back up your drivers folders from C:\Windows\System32 and have the product key at hand.īelarc Advisor is a program which will list all product keys.
If the system is irreparable then you're probably looking at a Repair or Clean install unless you can copy any corrupt files from the install disk.Ī tutorial for that if you need it is at the end of OPTION THREE in That command will put a file named sfcdetails.txt onto the desktop which you can attach and Shane will be able to advise on it. Open a command prompt as an admin then copy & paste the following command -įindstr /c: "" %windir%\Logs\CBS\CBS,log >"userprofile%\Desktop\sfcdetails.txt That doesn't bode well that an offboot sfc is unable to repair all files.Īs the CBS.log is quite large and takes some trawling through, Windows has kindly provided a command whereby only the files it is unable to fix can be displayed. > I checked event viewer but not against the article, I'll give that a go later. You could also check Event Viewer to see if there are any errors related to the files in this article as either of those could have a knock on effect.
Sfc /scannow /offbootdir=C:\ /offwindir=C:\Windows so that isnt an option, but i will try the offboot sfc.īoot up with the install disk and navigate to the Recovery Environment and select Command PromptĮnter bcdedit |find "osdevice" and using whichever partition letter it gives, enter (assuming C: and that's a Pipe symbol before find). > Only recent restore points are what I've made I'm afraid. See if an offboot sfc /scannow can do anything with it if the restore points aren't an option. ( I assumed as mine didnt have any errors it would be ok ! ) Will the dll be available from the disk or do i need to extract it from a cab file and if so which one please?
dll file from source, I assume you have a Win 7 SP1 install disk ? -> I have but tbh I was a little lazy and used the file from my system. Evidently nothing was installed.Īs you have replaced the.

Quote from: Boggin on November 19, 2014, 02:52:09 PM Have you asked your friend if he'd downloaded anything immediately to this error - in which case the restore points could come to the rescue. Seems a lot of people have problems with this but no one has a solution to cure it, (well i havent found it yet if they have) and if possible I'm trying to avoid a reinstall. Ive tried a clean boot to see if that alters anything, again no difference. Ive tried running your windows repair tool (which has been a great asset to me in the past) in both windows and safe mode, and that fails (log attached) Run sfc and the only file it has problems with is propsysy.dll I've replaced the dll and re registered it, again no difference. So far I've tried multiple virus scans (Ive found that one isnt enough to provide a clean environment anyways) using a variety of tools from online scanners to offline disk based ones and found nothing.
The programs it affects are varied ( but from what Ive learnt it is a multi fuction dll) from not opening attachments (.doc, pdf files) in outlook, url's on the favourites, weblinks embedded in programs (such as your windows repair) plus others, e.g. try installing the program again or contacting your adinistrator etc' Ive been checking out my mates computer (windows 7 64bit, 1 Tb HD, 4 Gb ram - more details in your repair error log) because recently everything (or most) they run gives the error 'c:windows\system32\propsys.dll is either not designed to run on windows or it contains an error. Hi Guys i'm in need of some help and advice if possible.
