CBS file " Access denied " after running sfc/scannow

I ran sfc/scannow in administrator mode and it said it had found some
corrupt files that it was unable to fix. I opened the C:\Windows\Logs\CBS
directory and it contained 5 files:
CBS,CBS.persist,CheckSUR,CheckSUR.persist and Filterlist. I attempted to
open CBS but a message says " Access is denied ". The same applied to
CBS.persist. I am able to open CheckSUR, CheckSUR.persist and Filterlist.
Upon opening properties on these three files the date created, modified and
accessed is May-28-09.

The dates for CBS are as follows: Created: November-27-08; Modified:
June-15-09; Accessed: May-31-09.

The dates for CBS.persist are: Created: November-27-08; Modified May-31-09;
Accessed:November-27-08.

The CBS file is apparently 15.7 MB and the CBS.persist file is 50.2 MB.

Any idea why I cannot access the relevant CBS file?

Delete the CBS.log before you do a SFC /SCANNOW. You'll have a much smaller
log to deal with.

You can also try...

findstr /c:"verify" "c:\windows\log\cbs\cbs.log"

and

findstr /c:"FileHashMismatch" "c:\windows\log\cbs\cbs.log"

Note: text following /c: is case sensitive

Thanks for both of your responses. After looking through the file it appears
that the sidebar " settings ini " file has a different system version than
other files. and there is reference to " PROCESSOR_ ARCHITECTURE_AMD64 ". My
processor is a Core 2 Quad Q8200 @2.33Ghz. Why this has occured I have no
idea. The only thing I have done since procuring the system a month ago that
would affect system files is to allow Windows updates, installed Microsoft
Office 2007 for home and students, and installed up to date device drivers
when they became available. I have pasted what I beleive is the applicable
entries. Can you suggest any repair course?

Start up Regedit and delete these two keys (save them before you delete
them, in the unlikely event you need them later)

amd64_microsoft-windows-sidebar_31bf3856ad364e35_6.0.6002.18005_none_2ce6c 04cdc275758
wow64_microsoft-windows-sidebar_31bf3856ad364e35_6.0.6002.18005_none_373b6 a9f10881953

Run SFC again to check for any more errors. If no errors, then run Windows
Update. And also check to see if Sidebar is working OK.


wow64... I guess that means you're running Vista 64-bit, yes?

Yes, I am running Windows Vista Home Preminum 64 bit operating system.
Thanks for quick reply I will proform the operations suggested and get back
to you with the results.

I deleted the keys that you specified Tae Song and ran SFC . I then ran
Windows Update and the only file was an update to Windows Defender program.
Sidebar appears to be running fine.
Anne I read the article you provided the link to. I do have the same
messages showing up in the CBS file shown in the article, after deleting
original as suggested by Tae Song.
Thanks again to both of you. Is there someway of showing my problem has
been fixed in this newsgroup. Some newsgroups have an icon you click on to
show that you are satisfied with answers.
