Cost is an issue with a new system, or even an upgrade. However the problem, is this is extremely bad timing. I have some very time sensitive matters that I was trying to accomplish before the end of April. I really need to get this fixed… and fast. I've held off on any system restore… trying to figure out a recovery disk solution.

I know it's home premium, and looking at that list I'm pretty sure it's x64. What are your thoughts about our USB flash drive instead?

Note: I cannot get into Control Panel or system properties to check windows version. "COM Surrogate has stopped working"

Hmm... I did find a link to a Microsoft question, that spoke about a specific Windows update that was causing corrupt file returns and unable to fix in system file check. The first 2 CHKDSK issues, I am positive were in regard to flash; the first was a blue screen of death while watching a news related video. And the last was after a large windows update on 3/28. Prompts did not come up, so it was at least two months worth if not three or more. Would doing a system restore before those windows updates, hurt, anything? Make this problem worse? I did run check disk as said above, and it said volume was clean. Further system file check scans from within Windows returned the same without any change. Yes, I did see that… No, I do not have another computer to do so. With that download be different from an original Windows 7 disc received during purchase? I might be able to get my hands on an old Windows 7 disc. But that would be very difficult.

So I did not take a break… I changed search criteria and found this: https://www.maketecheasier.com/what-system-restore-can-and-cannot-do-to-your-windows-system/ Since I'm back on the desktop, sounds like a system restore might be the best option...? (hopefully there is a restore point relatively recent) Anyone have any issues with what is listed here?

So my misunderstanding was correct, through that last link; with "virtual". I reviewed a different video, which I thought was only the command line for using a windows 7 disc for sfc, but was for the windows directory on the HDD; that one person said virtual, this other person was saying "offline" in regard to both disk and HDD directory. Was then able to run the check, but it stated "found corruptions but unable to repair some of them." After restart, successfully got to windows in safe mode. Then again, restarting normally got me to windows. I am back on the desktop… I however am not able to open word documents, any videos, Adobe reader, and several things crash immediately upon start up; spybot, Adobe, Nvidia, and so on. Firefox and IE do not work, only Chrome. But at least That works. Notepad and pictures open as normal. Video file thumbnails load, so it seems as if all data is secure, but ".exe" will not work for the majority of things. Progress, but still not functional. After a break I'm going to run check disk; but that's HDD integrity related, not system files; unless I'm wrong. Qs: 1) If I got my hands on a Windows 7 disc, possibility of repairing the other damaged files with sfc? B) Do all of the various windows updates over the years create issues in regard to that? 2) -- (99.5% of my data was backed up. What was not backed up at the moment of issue, appears I can quickly throw it on a USB flash drive; one word document, and Firefox bookmarks possibly had one or two additions.) Have never done a system restore before (only known points are after windows update, but I do have dell software that appears to make back ups as well) … could this fix everything? Throw everything back to a point where those currently corrupt Windows system files were not corrupt? If so why would SFC not work fully? 3) Is anyone knowledgeable enough about Windows system files for me to send you the SFC text document, possibly replace them individually? 4) Any other logical steps between those above, and complete reformatting? Or before Billy's option...

Just found this: http://digitally-free.blogspot.com/2014/03/windows-system-file-checker-in-repair.html?m=1 Interesting statement about "X:", though labeled administrator, is a "virtual" drive within the repair utility. That when you do off-line, directing SFC at a Windows 7 disc, setting the drive appropriately, it's not scanning the "virtual" drive, but the actual files. Little concerning, the thought of re-naming things. Multiple people said the action worked below. Trying to figure out how I would adjust this for an online usage of SFC within System recovery options. But I seem to be stuck in a "repair loop". Thoughts? Again, the video I posted above, the individual from Windows 7 forums, is utilizing SFC within Windows, not the recovery tool.

There Shall be no "back up in your ass with the resurrection".

So I've run system file check eight times, and each time I get "There is a system repair pending which requires reboot to complete. Restart and run sfc again". Currently in this loop. No percentage of progress is shown, a few seconds pass and that message comes up. Command prompt does state administrator at top. My hard drive is "C", but trying to change to C fails. I've seen different steps for "off-line", but that is with disc, USB, or other workstation. (stated but not covered in the video.) Currently researching. Once again stuck. The video above makes it clear that a Windows 7 disc should not be necessary to complete. However that is done within windows, not from the system recovery options command prompt. Anyone familiar with this utility?

I Did see and read that link... and no, I do not have a Windows 7 disc. Right... the third chkdsk did have some bad sectors; unreadable (something?). But I believe it was only 68kb worth, listed at the end; tiny. The first two had identical issues and repairs; but no bad sectors. And that was all quite a while ago (thinking about it further and less stressed, one was actually after Windows update). I have video of all the CHKDSK processes, but obviously can't look at them right now. I did recognize one file name that was searchable, a word document, but I did have it backed up and was able to replace it. Other than that one file no other data loss that I can find. My wonder is the sleep mode to hard boot... I did however re-read this: http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/topic/logon-error-message Missed the guys response at the end. Different DLL but seems similar. And then I found this video, which calmed a lot of my fears about using the tool... (sfc /scannow): https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=rNDBRYdDXqo I had never run chkdsk before, I have never run SFC, have never done a system restore or an image restore. And the latter two are quite concerning. But with that video, I am far less worried, at lest about sfc; "compute in confident". Probably going to give that a try here shortly. Computers are stressful…

I have been reading everything I can find; through using my phone. I've tried a few things, but I'm stuck and worried. I have a Dell Inspiron laptop, Windows 7. Purchased ~2012. Was sitting on bed, laptop unmoved on table in normal spot. I saw the Norton 360 "background idle tasks" square on the right bottom screen as normal. Got up, touched the finger pad, the square went away, I opened firefox and it "froze." Mouse pointer still continued to work, but program said unresponsive at the top, and proceeded to have a whole slew of problems. (Clock was not changing either.) Was able to get to task manager once, clicked end task on that, another firefox that opened and a chrome. Chrome closed, then several periods of change and freezing with the mouse pointer continuing to move. Circle "hourglass" seen at different times; pointer when over taskbar for windows, but no functionality. About 20 to 30 minutes later, after trying to get back to TaskManager screen, desktop icons were gone, just a blank screen with the background design set on desktop. I've had similar issues in the past, and for some reason unplugging the power cord and letting it go to battery power has gotten it out of the funk. Didn't work at any point. Was about ready to hold the power button, but instead of doing so I pushed the power button once, which sent it to sleep. Not long after that I tried to turn it back on from sleep, and it shut off completely. Now after the windows symbol, before the blue screen where it starts windows… I get error: logonui.exe bad image authui.dll "C:windows/system32/Authui.dll is either not designed to run on Windows or it has an error." -- can't post image from phone. Computer was on all night. Pretty sure I did restart it once late this morning, having done normal virus scan, and spyware scan. No issues. (stating because after 2 flash player updates (chrome only), and possibly one from Norton antivirus update, had inconsistencies with disk, and CHKDSK ran.) no issues since then; several months ago. The startup repair on the system recover screen "repair your computer" after F8, found nothing twice. I don't know what to do… Any help would be greatly appreciated.

The "defeatist attitude"? Shaking Head -- "Sigh." I sure am glad you are not the commander-in-chief, and am very frightened that we have a community organizer, as the commander-in-chief; surrounded by numerous Bush advisers. And, I would say, you are quite clueless as of the big picture over there. Now, since you are on the McCain/Graham side of the matter, what do you think of Graham's recent statements: http://www.usnews.com/news/articles/2013/09/05/grahams-hawkish-posture-confronts-war-weary-voters-in-south-carolina "I believe that if we get Syria wrong, within six months -- and you can quote me on this," Graham said, pausing for dramatic effect. "There will be a war between Iran and Israel over their nuclear program." But it wouldn't even end there, Graham surmised. Undoubtedly, he said ominously, the Iranians would share its nuclear technology with U.S. enemies. "My fear is that it won't come to America on top of a missile, it'll come in the belly of a ship in the Charleston or New York harbor," he said. Yeah, ah, well, I'd say a war between Israel and Iran is MORE likely if the United States does start launching cruise missiles into Syria; not less likely. As well as: http://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2013/sep/3/sen-lindsey-graham-wrong-move-almost-ensures-israe/ “I think the American people have to understand if this war goes another year, here’s what’s likely to happen: there will be tens of thousands of al Qaeda in Syria, there will be a toppling of the King of Jordan, the last moderate voice in the region and a close ally to us and Israel — he’ll be gone in another year because of the refugee problem,” Mr. Graham said on CNN’s “New Day.” “The chemical weapons will be loose and in the hands of Hezbollah and may come our way, so … Iran is watching every move we make in Syria.” “If we get Syria wrong, if we show weakness here regarding Assad’s chemical weapons utilization, you’re almost ensuring a war between Israel and Iran over their nuclear program, and we will surely get drawn into that,” Mr. Graham said Tuesday. “So to the American people: if you’re worried about the Iranians getting a nuclear weapon, as I am, the last card to play to stop that is how we handle Syria.” All of which makes no sense (except the Jordan part to a degree - IF, Assad does fall), given...: Report: Obama ‘Vetoed’ Israeli Strike on Iran http://freebeacon.com/report-obama-vetoed-israeli-strike-on-iran/ If not for Obama, Israel would have already taken care of business in Iran. And they DO have the capability, don't kid yourself; they do not need our help, with THAT. Additionally: I think Israel is more than happy with a US strike in Syria, because, it will most definitely pull the United States into war; because US involvement in Syria, regardless of scope or duration, WILL lead to WWIII, and Israel is more than happy to have more than verbal support from the United States, with all the things they already have wanted to do. Screw the chemical weapons usage, this is about WWIII. How many will die from more chemical weapons use (used within Syria) vs. WWIII? Now, if Syria hits / tries to hit Israel with chemical weapons, or anyone else outside of Syria, I say bomb the crap out of Syria. While at the same time, Israel will take care of any transfers to Hez or others; they already have been. They just never take credit for their, successes; except when Obama Admin douche bags leak info... like the cyber war with Iran.

Okay, back to the topic... From my own researching, I don't believe ANYONE was killed with a 223/556 round in this shooting. Everything I have read... says the 100 round drum mag, immediately jammed, and he went right to the shotgun. Is this correct, or not?

Everything I read, says his rifle jammed... Why does Piers Morgan continually bring up Aurora as a main reason to ban "assault" rifles? Was anyone actually shot, by his rifle?

What about on the east coast. I heard skydive Maryland wasn't a USPA DZ. Now being a non USPA DZ, you can skydive without a USPA license correct?

Red Balls! Its Cocaine In A Can Baby!!!!! I Smoke Rocks!

How many non-USPA DZ's are there and where are they? Thanks!
