WinRelauncher.exe - file corrupted

The file or directory X:\Windows\System32 is damaged and unreadable. Please run the Chkdsk utility. I get the above message on my laptop when it boots, I have windows vista

Hi DenisJames,

1. you remember to make changes to the computer before this problem?

2. are you able to boot into Normal mode?

WinReLauncher.exe error always occurs when the corresponding WinReLauncher.exe file of the operating system is deleted, corrupted or infected with the virus.

You can try an advanced boot options startup repair and check if it helps.

a. restart your computer and keep pressing the F8 key. This will open the screen that says "Advanced Boot Options".

b. click on 'Repair your computer' and press 'Enter '. Select the keyboard layout and click "next".

c. type the user name and password and press the OK"" button. This takes you to the menu"System Recovery Options".»

d. click on "Startup Repair". You need a few options that the system will suggest. During the boot process, your system may need to restart to make the necessary repairs.

If you are unable to do the repair to start the advanced startup options, and then try to start from the full version of Windows Vista installation disc.

  • HELP: chkdsk.exe file corrupted

    I ran a program the other day I was told to run once a week on here to check the virses and after I ran it, I turned off the computer and the next morning, when I turned the computer back on he rode that the chkdsk.exe file is corrupted and then today he rode that one that starts with a j is damaged... and it won't let me download anything to try to fix it so what do I do?

    Have you tried the system restore and repair system recommended in my first post?  If this isn't the case, you should do it.

    SFC is not finished which means that there is serious on your system corruption - if serious program cannot even fill.

    CHKDSK does not work so we can identify or repair damage to the hard drive (and it seems that corruption is the reason why it will not work).

    You cannot download files for diagnosis or repair efforts (have you tried in SafeMode with network start-up and pushing the F8 key repeatedly until you get the menu, and then selecting this option?).  There is a hard drive diagnostic program I want you download and run to test the hard drive.  To test your hard drive, check the manufacturer and then get the diagnostic utility of: http://www.techsupportforum.com/hardware-support/hard-drive-support/302602-hard-drive-diagnostic-utilities.html.  If she failed the test, replace it.  If she passes the test, then it's probably nothing wrong with it.  If necessary, download with another computer and transfer it to computer problem with a flash drive and then install and run it (if you can - if you can not, after return).

    You have a disk for Installation of Windows Vista genuine or only a recovery of the manufacturer of the computer disk (or no disk at all, except perhaps that you could by my instructions to do the Startup Repair and perhaps even restore system - can be done from the disk)?  You have a recovery Partition on your computer with maybe an order of keyboard to activate (and do you know what this command)?  If you do not know the answers to these questions, you can contact your computer manufacturer to get the answers, because it's about the next step in troubleshooting.  If you can get your hands on a real disk Installation of Windows Vista, then that would be great because otherwise, the only option is a clean install, none of us choosing.

    We are running out of options.  It seems to me that you have a problem with bad corruption on your hard drive which is the root cause of all these problems.  It's maybe fixable or you may need to replace the drive.  This is the reason for the above - listed diagnosis program check it out.

    I look forward to your reply.

    Good luck!

  • Each exe file I open me gives a "corrupted file... run chkdsk', but the analysis of virus and malware are clean?

    Hello

    I'm completely puzzled here. When I started my computer today I got a notification saying one of the start-up programs exe file has been corrupted. I think that "uhoh". Then my antvirus software is dΘmarre with the same and I get the notification that I'm not running and antivirus. Then I realize counts all exe files I click gives me the error "file is corrupted... Please run chkdsk" appear in the taskbar. At this point, I am thinking virus or malware.

    Some programs still work even with the corrupted message, but every exe, whether old or newly downloaded, will give me this corrupt message. Also, when I tried to reinstall my anti-virus, he wouldn't. (I'm under Avast Internet Security Pro).

    I found myself downloading AVG free and for some reason any that exe is not being corrupt. So I at least have a running antivirus software now.

    I scanned my whole system with AVG with the latest virus definitions, and it sees no virus. I run only Malwarebytes with the latest updates... nothing there either.

    Is my computer clean? For me this seems unlikely, but there is something that is not a virus or malicious software that could cause this?

    Also, I started in safe mode, and it makes exactly the same thing. Each exe is corrupt when I open it.

    I am all of these ideas, except to the reformat.

    Thank you

    I don't see you mention on running "chkdsk".

  • Portege 3440: ntoskrnl.exe file needs to be replaced - how to start without external hard drive

    Hello

    My 3440 has developed a problem, I think the boot.ini file corruption that it requests to the file ntoskrnl.exe replaced at startup. The problem is that I don't have an external drive to boot from. When I press F2 it gives me a list of devices, that which no no it starts from. I don't have the external CD drive for this, and it won't have a USB floppy drive.

    It is impossible for me to solve this problem without the external port replicator or a cd player?

    Thanks in advance

    Pete

    Hello

    Unfortunately, without the access on the Windows CD you will not be able to fix it.

    The ntoskrnl.exe file is placed on the original Windows CD in the i386 folder.
    You could start at the beginning of the CD to make the repair console by pressing R
    In the repair console, you can use this command:

    Expand D:\i386\ntoskrnl.ex_C:\windows\ntoskrnl.exe
    (D is the CD drive)

    But as said above seems that you will need the CD player

    But wait if the i386 folder has been installed on your HARD drive you could expand the ntoskrnl.exe in this folder to C:\windows\

    Corrupt des/windows system32\config\system missing file? How to fix without losing my data? Support Sony says full recovery of the system, but I'll lose data and sounds very drastic!

    e star,
    For your Windows CD, which would have been provided by the PC manufacturer.  Sometimes they have a partition on the hard disk that contains the recovery software and can be viewed during the start up.  You should check with the manufacturer of PC for more information about the recovery options.  Also if they did not provide a CD sometimes they offer the recovery media for sale.

    The problem here is that something has happened to the ntoskrnl.exe file.  It is difficult to replace just this file because the version that's on a CD may be different for the version that you had on your system.  If replace you it with another that it could potentially cause other problems.

    At this point, you will need to do a repair install or restore clean install\factory.  Mike - Engineer Support Microsoft Answers
