  How to use the System File Checker tool to fix the system files missing or corrupted on Windows Vista or Windows 7

  Description of Windows XP and Windows Server 2003 System File Checker (Sfc.exe)

  Note: SFC system gives an administrator the ability to scan the files all protected to check their versions. If the System File Checker detects that a protected file has been replaced, it retrieves the correct version of the file in the folder cache (% Systemroot%\System32\Dllcache) or the Windows installation source files and then replaces the incorrect file. System File Checker verifies and repopulates the cache folder also. You must be logged in as an administrator or as a member of the Administrators group to run the System File Checker. If the cache folder is damaged or unusable, you can use the sfc/scannow, sfc /scanonceor sfc /scanboot orders to repair its contents.

• By Magentic screen saver will not work! Any help out there?

  I am running Windows Vista on a Dell Studio nine
  I've got everything I can think of including related: put in startup, uninstall/reinstall, which makes my choice by default, even turning off security on downloads & installs.  But Vista refuses to launch... (And I do not understand it is maybe not the best choice, but it makes me happy... & I need that now..) Please any help will be appreciated! Thank you!

  Hello MakMeHappy,

  Thank you for using the Microsoft answers Forum

  We want to assure you that Magentic is compatible with Windows Vista. I downloaded this background screen program on my laptop but got errors repeated that he could not install. You are using a version of this software which is known to be compatible with Windows Vista? Is there an another Vista machine that you tried this software and it worked? Are there errors that either Vista or the Magentic software gives which would give us more information as to why it does not work. Have you contacted Magentic support to ask if the software is compatible or if they have a version that will work correctly on Windows Vista?

  Additional information you can provide on this problem would be useful.

• My screen saver does not work and it's turnd.

  That check for screen saver does not

  Hi k4trm,

  1. what happens when you set a screen saver? What screensaver you have defined on the computer?

  2. you receive an error message?

  3. did you of recent changes on the computer?

  Method 1

  It is possible that some third-party programs installed on the computer is causing the screen saver does not to work.

  I suggest that you perform a clean boot and check.

  To help resolve the error and other messages, you can start Windows Vista by using a minimal set of drivers and startup programs. This type of boot is known as a "clean boot". A clean boot helps eliminate software conflicts.

  See the link below to learn more about how to clean boot.

  Reset the computer to start as usual

  When you are finished troubleshooting, follow these steps to reset the computer to start as usual:

  (a) click Start, type msconfig in the search box and press ENTER.

  (b) If you are prompted for an administrator password or for confirmation, type your password or click on continue.

  (c) under the general tab, click the Normal startup option, and then click OK.

  (d) when you are prompted to restart the computer, click on restart.

  Method 2

  If the previous step fails then I would suggest that you update the driver for graphics card on the computer visiting the site of graphics card manufacturer.

• Portege M400: screen saver does not work

  Hi all

  like many of you, I think, I need the screen saver protected by start-up automatically when I let my M400 unattended for some time.
  Everything works fine if the bluetooth is introduced to the wide. Otherwise... the screen saver does not start automatically.

  Site Microsoft learns something about the problems related to (Microsoft mouse) wireless devices that do not allow the screen saver appears.
  The proposed solution is to kill a process called PCMsomething, or download an update windows named KBsomething and install it.

  I actually a bluetooth wireless (non-Microsoft) combined with my PC mouse, but no PCMsomething process is executed and, although my mouse is turned off, the screen saver organizers can't work until I turned off the bluetooth of the M400 too. In addition, windows update does not suggest a KBsomething patch to install (maybe because my mouse is not a Microsoft one?).

  Any idea to solve my problem?
  Thanks in advance.

For the most part a screensaver 3rd party has a parameters.

• Screen saver does not start automatically

  original title; SCREEN SAVER DOES NOT START AUTOMATICALLY

  My screensaver stopped automatically to come if I use an excerpt it's turns on and will remain lit.  How can I fix or can uninstall and reinstall?

  It becomes a problem growing with the screen savers. The issue is background programs and services that are enough tasks that the computer never thinks that it becomes "inactive". Programs cannot do any real work, but are cycling through their operations individual enough to keep the computer "awake".

  Try to start your computer with a "clean boot", (see Microsoft Support articles below). If this resolves the issue and you definitely want your screen saver, you'll have to discern what substantive programs and services that you can live without being active all the time, and turn them off.

  For what it's worth, the systems that I watched recently with this problem were 'smart phone' synchronization software recently installed and who is constantly looking for something to synchronize with regardles to know if they are connected to what whether or not. Change the start of these programs and services 'on demand' to 'always' solves the problem in these cases.

• screen saver does not work when magic jack is pluged in. unplug mj it works

  screen saver does not work when magic jack is pluged in. unplug taking magic, the screensaver works properly.

  09/05/10 the MagicJack has released an update that prevents the screen saver and "standby" mode. They are aware that people are upset on this issue, but they seem not to care.

  Here is a simple solution to the problem. I've used it since 10/09/10 and it works perfectly.

  Restore the functionality of screen saver / display after MagicJack diverted these features...

  Click on the Start button in Windows 7

  type cmd in the search box

  Right click on cmd and run as administrator if you are not running as an administrator it will not work!

  type: powercfg /requestsoverride PROCESS magicJack.exe DISPLAY

  Make sure that you type the capitol letters and lowercase no look of magic make 'J' ack it's capitol as well!

  Press enter

  Now unplug your magicjack

  Restart your computer and let the unplugged MagicJack

  Once the computer starts together your screensaver for a minute then let it sit for a minute activate screen saver...

  Now plug your magic let sit for one minute Alto screen saver is now active!

  If you want to activate the sleep as well, follow the same instructions as above, but simply type this line instead.

  type: powercfg /requestsoverride PROCESS magicJack.exe DISPLAY SYSTEM
  
  If you follow these instructions, your sleep/screen mode will work as before.

  Kind regards
