A sfcenable.reg file is here – http://www.pc-freak.nt/files/sfcenable_windows_registry_file.zip
Alternative way to enable sfc is to simply run sfcenable.reg file and restart

The same computer happened to have a small problem with hardware too. I removed memory from memory slot and reattached, because computer was sometimes booting and sometimes not. After it was booting every time. Eventually I re-installed the Windows, just few days later, because it was too slowly working for a normal use. (the machine is old), but it seems some kind of badware was again crawling, so I was tired of trying to work it around thus re-installed.

Hi, I have been fixing people's computers before I came into web development business. My way of approach was to just reformat the computer with a windows installation disk and run a boot time scan on other drives in most cases. If I knew a particar cure for a problem that I would have used that. Reformating is the best if the machine it fast enough it only takes an hour or so.

This will not offer the user any access to his data so I would be slow to classify this as “fixing people’s computer”. Indeed, they might have been able to do that themselves?

Sorry Vikram but that is not fixing someone’s computer. A wipe of the hard drive and a fresh reinstall of windows should be the last resort, not the first.

Thank you for this fix!
View CommentView CommentHowever I can’t effectively act according to the instructions on that Winlogon.
Winlogon is a folder… ‘Use modify on it and change value to be “0” ‘ –>> which of those keys should be set to “0”?

Hi Fanny,
My mistake, proper download link is http://www.pc-freak.net/files/sfcenable_windows_registry_file.zip
Try to expand WinLogoan and see what there is as a possibility to check and check for something related.
I don’t remember exactly anymore ..
If you fix it drop me a comment.
Best
Georgi

Thank you for the new zip. (Please note the embodied link is still wrong, but the visible text of the link is working). PC booted in safe mode, extracted from the zip and added the registry key, rebooted again in safe mode but unfortunately the sfc /scannow command still shows that RPC server is unavailable. The registry editor key to be zeroed is the SFCScan within Winlogon that is (and was) already with 0x00000000(0) in my case; so the manual instructions are not useful.
View CommentView CommentHope there is a solution… I have ‘your computer must be restarted. Ignore windows error recovery screen after restart’. But it’s always cycling with that message. Only way to fix it for only one boot is to enter in Safe Mode, schedule a checkdisk and at the next first restart only, Windows XP will boot. At the subsequent boot, a new ‘your computer must be restarted…’ appears. Running sfc/ scannow in Windows XP normal mode works but does not fix that message. That’s why I hope to fix this Sfc /scannow issue in Safe Mode.
