You need to look in CBS.log (C:\Windows\Log\CBS\CBS.log) to find files that
are corrupt and which, if any, SFC could not repair. I bought my notebook
from Dell and they sent me the install Vista DVD; maybe you should ask them
to send you one. You need it for many Vista operations, including Restore
Complete PC from backup and Access Vista Install DVD Files to replace your
corrupt system files. As it is likely that your autochk.exe file is corrupt,
an alternative would be to copy the file from a friend's Vista to a USB
memory stick and then copy it to your system to repalce your corrupt
autochk.exe file.
