Hi musicalpulltoy,
Try this to install Service Pack3
It will say it's for IT professionals and developers but you can safely use it.
- Download ServicePack3 from HERE
- Save it to you desktop
- Boot the computer into Safe Mode
- Once Windows loads in Safe Mode double click the file you downloaded
Did Service Pack3 install ok?

another thing.
in system32 several files have multiple copies, some windows protected some not, like batmeter(3).dll - batmeter(6).dll, wintrust(3).dll - wintrust(7).dll, the later being the unprotected file.
dont know if they were here or not before i acquired the pc.
oh, if you think this belongs in another forum i understand.
thanks

Hi musicalpulltoy,
batmeter.dll is related to the power consumption. Is this a laptop?
wintrust.dll is a windows file used as part of the updating process and for installing programs. It's possible that some software added a new copy of wintrust.dll when the program was installed.
Are these files all the same size?
It's possible especially if you have disabled Cryptographic Services
This link might help. You can try the FixIt Tool found there it will attempt to do the first 5 steps of the manual fix or you can read the manual fix steps and see if anything you may have disabled should be enabled.

oops
yes all the duplicate files are the same size.
-
Hi musicalpulltoy,
The files may have been dropped by other software that uses the same file or perhaps placed there by failed installs.
Sorry about the link. Since the service is running I don't thnk the info there would apply. This link is what you are after.
You have pretty much covered Methods 1&2 so I suggest you try the FixIt Tool. Scroll down the page to the tool and instructions for using it. The manual method is just below it. I suggest you give the tool a shot first.
Let me know how you make out.
