As stated above, my locallow file is corrupt, and it is not very nice for me at all. So if anyone knows how to fix a corrupt file please please let me know.
Thanks a lot,

Hello ffcsquall24,
Welcome to the Vista Forums.
I'd try this first. http://www.vistax64.com/tutorials/66978-system-files-sfc-command.html
Also, if this is a recent problem, you could try a sys. restore to a point before the prob. started. Info here if needed: http://www.vistax64.com/tutorials/76905-system-restore-how.html
Hope this helps,
Gary

so do you think i should just use the backup disc i created when i bought the computer?

LocalLow is a folder inside your user profile, assuming we're talking about the same thing. Why do you believe it's corrupted, and what are the exact symptoms which you're hoping to fix?

well the reason i believe the file ot be corrupt is thta my computer shows the message following:
The file or directory C:\users\chris\appdata\LocalLow is corrupt and unreadable. Please run the chkdsk utility.
It happens basically when i run any program.

OK. That's fairly convincing. I assume you've already done what the error message suggests and run CHKDSK on that volume? If so, did it actually find any errors?

Don't be shy with the details 
What did the CHKDSK report say when it was done? Did CHKDSK find problems and was it able to fix them? By default, if you simply run "CHKDSK" it works in a read-only mode. Try CHKDSK /F to actually get it to do something about problems it finds.
