    1. when exactly you get this error message?
    2. don't you make changes on the computer before this problem?

    Check if the problem persists in the clean boot state.

    From your computer by using a minimal set of drivers and startup programs so that you can determine if a background program is interfering with your game or program. This type of boot is known as a "clean boot".

  • Windows - corrupt file message, telling me to run the chkdsk utility - does not work

    This is the message I get: "the file or directory C:\System Volume Information\EfaData\SYMEFA. DB-journal is damaged and unreadable.  Please run the chkdsk utility. "When I type chkdsk/f to the command prompt it tells me that it cannot run while windows is open and asks if I want it to work when I reboot.  I say Yes and restart and nothing happens.  What I am doing wrong?

    This is the message I get: "the file or directory C:\System Volume Information\EfaData\SYMEFA. DB-journal is damaged and unreadable.  Please run the chkdsk utility. "When I type chkdsk/f to the command prompt it tells me that it cannot run while windows is open and asks if I want it to work when I reboot.  I say Yes and restart and nothing happens.  What I am doing wrong?

    Two observations:

    1 symefa seems to be linked to something of Norton/Symantec called "Symantec Extended File Attributes" that seems related to Unix file data, so why it is present on a Windows system is a good question. A position I've seen connects it with Norton Internet Security 2010/2011 and suggests that uninstall NIS using theNorton removal tool will solve the problem.

    2. the System Volume Information folder is a folder 'hidden super' which is not normally accessible.  This is where Windows XP stores the system restore points andother information important to the operating system .  I suspect that Norton/Symantec has decided to take advantage of the great hidden nature of this file in order to hide some of his own thing.  You can access the System Volume information as described herehttp://support.microsoft.com/kb/309531 and delete the offending file.  But I would get rid of NIS first and then delete the file.

  • When I opened my computer it always tells me that the file is damaged and unreadable. Please run the Chkdsk utility... I searched my computer for "chkdsk utility" and can't find that. Help, please!

    From what you say, you are probably unable to start Windows.

    In this case, when you start the computer, keep tapping the key "F8" on the keyboard until the Advanced menu comes up. Then choose "Safe Mode".

    You will see something like your ordinary, here to enter office "chkdsk volume: /f" (replace with your hard drive volume, in most cases, it's 'c') at the command prompt.

  • Vista backup error: cannot run the RPC. (0x800706BE)

    Hey there, I have a question about windows vista. I'm doing a backup of my system. In the end, I get an error saying: "cannot save settings to schedule automatic backup for the following reason: cannot run the CPP." (0x800706BE).

    However, I don't want to schedule an automatic backup. I want to make a single backup. I tried to change this in windows Task Scheduler, but I can't because the WindowsBackup folder is not listed. Probably because there is no backups on demand. But I can't schedule backups since I get an error at the end. So the WindowsBackup folder does not appear and I can't change the settings. Someone knows how to fix this?

    To be clear, I want to make one backup of my system.

    When I go to services.msc and scroll down to the remote procedure call and watch 'Status' it says 'Started' or 'Released' (not sure since I have a Dutch version of Vista).

    Also, windows backup is not calculating the number of necessary for the backup dvd.

    Thanks in advance.
