Hello.



When I try to run sfc.exe/scannow as administrator it always stops at 76% and I get the message "can't execute the operation asked for" (translated from Dutch).
The cbs log shows the following errors at the end:

POQ 59 ends.

Can someone figure out what these errors mean and what's wrong?

Thanks

I had a similar problem with Vista Ultimate 64-bit until I installed Service
Pack 1 - then the problem went away. I now have Service Pack 2 and sfc
/scannow still runs to completion. If you are missing a Service Pack, that
might solve the problem.

Thanks HMT for the reply. I'll wait for the Dutch sp2 for Vista and maybe the problem is solved than. Wimmerman

If you have your version of Vista on DVD (the full installation version, not
a restore DVD image), try putting the DVD in your CD/DVD drive, close any
window that appears and then run sfc as before. This was sometimes required
when running sfc with Windows XP to fix errors and allow a run to completion.

It's a pity, I don't have a Vista DVD. Vista was pre-installed on my laptop and there is an recovery partition on is. I'll have to wait for the sp2 and I think when Windows 7 is out I'll switch to that if windows 7 is affordable. But thanks for the reply's
