Thanks, Mark.
I ran the scan and it reported the following: (the repair effect is listed
below)
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
C:\Windows\system32>sfc /scannow
Beginning system scan. This process will take some time.
Beginning verification phase of system scan.
Verification 100% complete.
Windows Resource Protection found corrupt files but was unable to fix some
of th
em.
Details are included in the CBS.Log windir\Logs\CBS\CBS.log. For example
C:\Windows\Logs\CBS\CBS.lo
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I then ran the following command as per the article, and it generated an
empty sfcdetails.txt file, in spite of the message above.
C:\Windows\system32>findstr /C:"[SR] Cannot repair member file"
%windir%\logs\cb
s\cbs.log >sfcdetails.tx
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I got suspicious and copied the sfcdetails.txt file to my local directory,
then opened it in NotePad and looked for all instances of the word "repair".
It found quite a few, but all were flagged as repaired using the following
messages:
Verifying 100 (0x00000064) components
Beginning Verify and Repair transaction
< Possibly some repair info inserted here >
Verify complet
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
So I'm guessing that the above message is generated anytime corrupt files
are found, even if all were successfully repaired.
I also turned the on-screen keyboard off then on again just in case some
internal setting is enabled at turn-on time.
The on-screen keyboard is now remaining on top and the foreign characters
are displayed while I'm in the window I intend to type in. However, when the
mouse cursor moves into the on-screen keyboard in order to click a key, the
display immediately revers back to English, even though clicked characters
are in the foreign language. This is getting more and more bizarre!
Any other thoughts?
Thanks
WJ
