Hi Mark,
Thanks for trying, but the System File Checker did not resolve the problem.
I ran sfc /SCANNOW and apparently I have some corruption in my files
because, when it finished (the program ran for almost 20 minutes) I looked in
the CBS.log and saw a LOT of activity stating that it was able to fix several
files. However it also said that it was unable to fix all issues and there
were 2 files that it was unable to repair. They were..
spsreng.dll = a speech engine
cryptnet.dll = i am not sure what this is
And I still have the exact same problem that I had before.
Some additional information about the problem... the task manager also will
not open/respond (exactly as Computer Management and Event Viewer). And also,
the network connetcion icon in the system tray has an red X over it and it
says "Not Connected. You are currently not connected to any networks." Which
is obviously not totally correct because I am on the internet right now.
Anyway, thanks again, and I am hoping that you (or someone else) may have
another idea.
Thanks,
Dave
