I made a full image backup of the computer before I started to work on the computer. A client brings in her computer saying that she "can't get any programs to run, the computer seems to be OK in safe mode but that mode is too limited". She also says that a neighbour tried to fix her computer of course but was unsuccessful.

I booted into Windows and verified that the start button would display the programs but nothing would start including the Control Panel. I tried a Windows 7 repair and restoring back to last good configuration. Neither seemed to improve the situation. Next, I restored to one of the previous restore points. This seemed to work in that programs would run but 2 Windows Updates were stuck in that they would fail to install over and over again.

So, I hide them for the time being and now that problem is resolved. Historically before the client brought the computer in , I can see many errors in the Windows System Log where the computer was not shutdown properly e. That brings me to where I am now with this computer. Some data might have been lost". I am getting the error above every time either Safe Mode or Regular that I power-up the computer.

The only way to 'fix' this problem is by booting into Safe Mode with Networking go to step 'a' above. Note that it might reset your password to an earlier value. Keep tapping F8 during the early boot phase. Log on as Administrator if prompted. Select Repair when prompted. Identify the correct drive letter for your Windows installation.

It could be a drive other than C: but it won't be X:. I will call that drive "Q:". Were the files created before or after your problem became apparent? My first post on this issue was in the Other Software area. I had though my IE 7 download may have caused this folder on my C drive. I received an answer telling me it had nothing to do with IE 7 but with the security update in question.

He gave me a link to an article Microsoft had written especially for that update because there had been some problems in some cases with installing it.

I printed the pages and, unfortunately, didn't take the time to read the entire thing. I had assumed since I had that folder on my C drive I had a problem so I began following the steps to get it all right, or so I thought. The first step was to go to Add or Remove Programs and remove that security update.

I found 2 files. But then I have already covered that in my earlier post. Right now both of those files I did the search for are still in place. The only real damage I can see is the fact I have removed that Security Update. I am able to verify that. It is the correct version. Does that sound good?

Does to me but then who am I to say! I am the one that goofed it up in the first place. I tried the windows update and they are telling me I have "0" updates available for my system.
