• Code 80070241 in Windows update and "Windows cannot verify the digital signature for this file" when you try to run any program.

  Windows Update has appeared today when we started one of our machines, informing us that there are some installed updates. After reviewing the updates, we clicked on the "Install now" button, and immediately, it failed with the above error code.

  I tried to run regedit a reason unrelated, and it came with a dialog box error with "Windows cannot verify the digital signature for this file. A recent hardware or software change might be installed a file that is signed incorrectly or damaged or maybe it's a malicious software from an unknown source. »

  After researching here and elsewhere on google and did not find anything suitable, put us in the Win7 disk, recovery tools and tried to go back to a previous system restore point (3 days).

  The restoration went well, restarted, but the problem persists.

  Then, we just tried to install anti-malware software, but when trying to run the installer, we get a different error message indicating 'ShellExecuteEx failed; Code 577 "and then the same message on the verification of the digital signature.

  The computer is running fine all yesterday and has worked very well since just after the new year when he has been upgraded to Windows 7. No material changes have been made, and no software changes were made by users in the course of last week.

  The computer is an AMD Athlon II X 4 with 4 GB of RAM on a motherboard Asus M4A78-EM, linking a 64 GB SSD, with a 250 GB drive SATA data/programs. GPU is a Nvidia 260, and it has a CD and DVD player as well. It is connected to our router using the gigabit ethernet interface motherboards.

  It was under windows 32 - bit XP SP3 up just after the new year. When we put in place the new SSD to replace a hard drive older than we have did a new install of XP (slipstreamed with SP3) and then used the upgrade 32-bit W7 Home premium DVD version to upgrade the system. Since then, the system runs flawlessley.

  On the machine is MS office XP, Firefox 3.6.3, AVG 8.5 and a few games such as the Turbine DDO.

  The main user account used to try to solve these problems and to run Windows Update and try installing programs is a member of the Administrators group.

  Firefox works fine, serve, and he plays the games installed very well also. AVG reports to date, with no problems and has detected no threat.

  However, try to view the registry with regedit, or start Viewer event or compmgmt.msc that all do appear the message "cannot verify the digital signature.

  ***************************************************

  Can anyone offer an opinion on what might be wrong with this facility please, and how we could do to solve?

  Cannot run chkdsk/scandisk as he bought the message "cannot verify the digital signature" etc etc.

  This morning, the machine began to behave differently - stop playing back badly, refused to start Device Manager, open Control Panel correctly etc.

  So, I reset the BIOS to boot from the CD-ROM, slapped XP SP3 in reinstalled, then upgraded to Win 7 again.

  Still have no idea what caused the problem, but it seems to be gone now - reinstalled the same applications, AV / programs anti-malware, games, etc and everything seems to go fine now.

• Bad clusters on XPS 720

  Hello

  I'm not entirely sure if I am faced with a hard drive problem or if something might happen, so I thought I would start here.  A few months ago, I bought an XPS 720 (sheet copied below).  His summer work as a gem until a few nights ago.  As I was game (World of Warcraft, doubt it's important), I had a crash of the game.  Trying to restart, I have been informed that the data of the game files were corrupt and that he had to revert to a previous version.  Just enough, only download the previous version data files are also damaged.

  I then tried to reinstall from my original disks in a different directory on the drive, even to download Windows XP SP 3, which must be plugged away for a bit, but invariably report a corrupted data file.  It seems that any file of significant size runs into this problem when I try to load on the drive, no matter from what source.

  I also run CHKDSK/Scandisk what bad clusters reveals that he reports in 5 different places, supposedly lightens the, but appears again in repeated CHKDSK/Scandisk runs.  Also, just in case, I've updated my antivirus, ran a complete system scan who come clean.  I caught more later/more big S & D of Spybot, Adaware and ProcessList.  The only questionable content found were a few tracking cookies.

  I'm kind of at my wit's end and I was wondering if I was just a butt hard drive should I call Dell to replace or what.  Your ideas and your tips are very much appreciated.

• It is always advisable to do a disk defragment before a scandisk/chkdsk because the former will correct errors that prevent the latter to function properly.

  This is for windows xp sp1 and need a link to get ANSWER asap... ;)   I beleave not, you first use Scandsk/chkdsk.

  Exactly.

• Cannot run chkdsk and subsequently cannot run the defragmentation

  I'm unable to defragment my hard drive. It is said that there is a regular print run of chkdsk at startup which never works. If I try to run chkdsk /f myself, I get a message that says that the computer is unable to lock the station and that the volume is already used by a different process. Does anyone have a tip?

  Is it possible to run chkdsk or scandisk at startup by pressing a certain button?
  Is there a list of tasks scheduled outside of that Panel?

  Hello

  I assume that you have enabled the service chkdsk under properties of the HARD drive.
  If you have activated the chkdsk in Windows you need to restart the device and after restarting again the blue screen should appear a the chkdsk must begins.

  In my opinion you simply restart your device after the start of the chkdsk command.

  -Start the Control Panel Power Options applet (go to start, settings, Control Panel, and then click Power Options).
  -Select the Hibernate tab, uncheck "Activate the hibernation", and then click OK. Although you might think otherwise, selecting never under "Hibernate" option on the power management tab does not delete the hiberfil.sys file.

• Infinite loops AUTOCHK and CHKDSK

  Question: How do I fix the curls AUTOCHK and CHKDSK when everything has failed?

  Summary: a new HARD drive, with a cloned image of WinXP infected with the malware that has been cleaned thoroughly, continues to show c: System file Dirty bit is set.  A 5-step forced CHKDSK /f or CHKDSK /r does not resolve the problem.  System seems to be 100% clean and works great except for the 'stuck' Dirty bit on C:.  Dirty bit can be effectively ignored by using CHKNTFS /x c: but Scandisk and Defrag cannot be run - probably other problems also.  Yet to try to solve this problem without wiping and starting over.

  HP Pavilion zd8000 w / WinXP Media Center 2005.  Wouldn't boot - ran an endless cycle of 3 floors AUTOCHKs and reboots.  If AUTOCHK was cancelled, WinXP would charge sometimes, but very slowly... HARD drive certainly wasn't.  Originally mounted 4200 RPM HARD drive on another box, and then managed to copy data from it.  The host received warnings which disc can have errors. Ghost to clone a new 5400 RPM HARD drive.

  Installed new HARD drive in the laptop computer and used MBAM, HitMan, RKill and ComboFix to fix many and varied, the viruses and Trojans (but not sure exactly what horses Trojan or virus, sorry).  Possible one of these viruses caused BSOD 0X0000007b error when you try to start in Safe Mode; This has been resolved during the elimination of viruses and removing Windows updates specific here:

  http://answers.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows/Forum/windows_xp-windows_update/blue-screen-error-0x0000007B-in-Windows-XP-after/73cea559-ebbd-4274-96bc-e292b69f2fd1

  and here:

  http://answers.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows/Forum/windows_xp-system/Windows-XP-SP3-boot-to-safe-mode-Stop-0x0000007B/8347d3ea-8351-4709-9580-b692feeacb77

  Once the infections were party, and after having passed the safe boot, WinXP has continued to report corrupt files ("exception processing message c00001012") as well as the event ID 55 ('file system on the disk structure is damaged and unusable. Please run the CHKDSK utility on the volume C:\ ") and the same loop AUTOCHK 3 floors at each start.

  Performed repair installation using the original media.  Was now SP2 WinXP SP3, after repair.  Delay further updates pending the resolution of this problem.

  The laptop runs great now - except that the dirty bit seems to be permanently set to C: - Defrag will not work because it says a CHKDSK /f is planned.  No more "exception processing message" error (either suspect that some windows files were actually corrupt, possibly by the Virus, probably by previous disk HDD error, but were repaired and then repairing install it).

  FSUTIL always reports that C: is dirty.

  I set myself the CHKNTFS /x C: and prevents the AUTOCHK running on every boot - now it starts and works apparently without problems, except that the dirty bit is always fixed.  I didn't understand if CHKNTFS /x C: should be prohibiting the AUTOCHK run on each startup, but it is that its weight without worrying... in other words, I don't have to reset CHKNTFS /x C: before each start, it seems to be "permanently" together.  I don't think that it is the function of the switch...

  I ran CHKDSK /f C: both CHKDSK /r C: under this condition (with CHKNTFS /x together) and the two CHKDSK 5 or 3 floors seemed to run successfully every time and respectively - however they also result in an infinite loop of CHKDSKs at startup.  These are not the same that the 'normal' AUTOCHK loop system is stuck with FSUTIL /d together.  I interpret this as meaning that both the ordinary AUTOCHK and the CHKDSK manually invoked are unable to successfully disabled the Dirty bit despite not finding any errors.

  After the /d C: FSUTIL reset system always presents the same loop AUTOCHK 3 floors on each boot.  Event ID 55 continues to be connected when it is started under CHKNTFS d, is not connected when it is started under CHKNTFS/x.

  Hello ReallyWildStuff,

  If chkdsk not clear the dirty bit, that would be my recommendation to format and do a non graphic installation.

  At this point, it would be the only way to definitively say that there is no hardware problem on the disk or controller.

  As you have a picture of the previous installation, I assume that all the data is secure.

  Let us know what the results are.

  Best regards

• OK, whenever I restart my pc it go to blue screen and scandisk but when I got to defragment. It doesn't let me do? I scan the pc and found nothing wrong

  What could do what I have to get a new pc. because I have no idea to fix any help?

  There is no Scandisk in XP. Do you mean that whenever you start your computer running chkdsk? If so, then:

  CHKDSK runs each time that you start your computer [Q316506] - http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=316506

  It would be also a good idea to test your hard drive. Test the hard drive with a diagnostic utility downloaded from site of the disc mftr. or use SeaTools for BACK of Seagate.

  Hi magicman77,

  1. you try to perform disk error checking on the drive on which Windows is installed?

  I suggest you to schedule chkdsk /r to reboot following the steps mentioned below and check if it helps:

  a. open an elevated command prompt. To do this, click Start, click programs, accessories principally made, right-click Guest, and then click Run as administrator.

  If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type the password, or click on allow.

  b. type the following command and press ENTER:

  Chkdsk /r

  c. When you are prompted to schedule chkdsk at the next reboot, type 'Y' (without the quotes) and press ENTER.

  d. restart the computer.
