Hi Kristan, I am tryin to install vista SP1 on my computer, but it does not
complete installation, it reurns with error report "Installation was not
successful" and a link to microsoft's site where there are five resolutions
to the problem. I have tried all 5, but number 3 seems to be d only 1 wit a
negative response, which is the cmd sfc /scannow, it returns wit the message
u stated below "Windows Resource Protection found corrupt files but was
unable to fix some

Quote:

> of them." all others return positive results.... I had to change the security settings to my name to read d message, its loads of junk, I dnt understand anytin in there.....

and I also notice I have got the KB941600 on my system but not d other 2,
again my USB ports are not recognising any usb devices, I have tried lots of
solutions I hav read but no one seems to work for me, do u think uninstalling
the KB941600 would stop the error message of "corrupt files" from comin up
after the system scan and allow vista SP1 to install?? and do u hav any idea
on what I should do about d USB ports?? Help me plz, I dnt kno what 2 do....

Hello everyone,
One of the MVPs said once,and I read that, that he has yet to see a sfc run wihout reporting corrupted files after the completion. I have that myself, and so far I have no problem using the computer, so why worry ? BY THE WAY, my sfc run was 100% complete. To those with less than 100%, you might Really have a problem.

I have two systems, a desktop running Windows Vista Ultimate, and a
laptop running Window Vista Business. Both have KB941600 installed.
The laptop runs sfc.exe /scannow and completes with no errors, but the
desktop reports corrupted files which cannot be repaired.

From command prompt: chkdsk /R

restart and let it complete, it will take a while but should repair
the disk errors.

after restarting again, try SP1

hope it helps

Hi there,
I am installing Vista SP1 for the last 2 weeks it seems. By now am with the
fifth or sixth MS technician via e-mail and phone. Presently the case is
refered to the 'Global Research Team' , indeed.
To the sfc /scannow the following is true in my application.

After one of the failed attempts to install SP1 I applied the test and got
the result you all describe '...corrupt files can't repair some of them..'

After a clean install of Vista x64, i.e. formating the HD and before
installing anything else, no updates, drivers etc. I still got the same error
with the sfc /scannow test.

Since my install was on Raid 0, I went back to a single drive installation
and tried a clean install with each drive individually and on top of that
with each of my two installation disks.
Each time the same 'corrupt files.. can't repair. comment at sfc /scannow.

I am expecting a call back from the MS technician after consulting with the
'Global Research Team' after about 48 hours from this post. ' As if'!

Please note that this issue appears without ANY KB...... updates installed.

Let me know if you find a fix.

Karl

	Just a heads up, I've noticed on a lot of systems (both 32-bit and 64-bit Windows Vista, multiple SKU's) that KB941600 causes SFC.EXE /SCANNOW to report the following: "Windows Resource Protection found corrupt files but was unable to fix some of them." I've reviewed the CBS.log file in accordance to KB928228 and KB929833, and CBS.log reports that there are no corrupted files. I have also spoken with a Microsoft Technical Support Professional in regards to this issue for about 6 hours and the only solution is to not install this hotfix (which provides a baseline quality level for the USB Core Components in Windows Vista). My question is this- why does this hotfix cause Windows system state corruption, and is there any other known workarounds for this issue? Also, has anyone else noticed this behavior after installing KB941600? Thanks for your time and have a great day, -- Regards, Kristan M.

Hello Kristan,
I cannot say for sure if KB 941600 is to blame, but I do have it installed back on Jan.5/08. My very first sfc run ( no record of "when" ) did report corrupt files. What do you suggest? Uninstall KB941600 ?
