Corrupt Windows 7 system files.

"Is there an easy solution to repairing corrupt system files in windows 7 64 bit?" What I mean is when you perform a System File Check in the command prompt you get a error that windows found corrupt filse but was unable to repair them, my question is are there any solutions to this problem other than doing an upgrade or clean install? I've tried system restore, but the files are stll corrupt and also tried to create an image file, but Windows doesn't recognize the image. What can be done to resolve the corrupt files issue?

    You can also schedule a run of the chkdsk utility, which fixes a lot of errors like these by typing "cmd" into the windows search bar, and then right-clicking on the command prompt icon and clicking "run as administrator" After you have done that, type "chkdsk /f" into the prompt. Follow the directions in the prompt, and after you have scheduled it, restart your computer.

Try the chkdsk utility by running command prompt in Administrator mode ("cmd" in the windows search bar, right clicking to "run as administrator") and then typing "chkdsk /f" into the prompt, and following the instructions in the window. Then you just restart the computer. Hope this helps.

You have done everything I would have suggested, at this point a clean install of your operational system is the only real option to remedy this situation.

Error message unsupported 16 bit application

16 bit software is not compatible with 64-bit engines.
The lowest number of software bits, called bit width, a 64b system can sometimes run if lucky, is 32b.
16 bits is the equivalent of 1 byte.
64 bits is therefore 4 bytes wide.
This means that the 64b system reads digitally coded instructions 4 bytes at a time, as one function to perform.
So if it tries to read all 4 bytes of a 16 bit 1 byte program it just sees meaningless garbage.
In fact, the header of the program file will ID it as 16 bits so that the 64 bit system knows not to even try to run it, as random weird instructions could corrupt or damage the computer.

No problem due toupgradation to window7 I am

ok office 2003 is compatable with 7 so we are ok there, but your not telling me is did you upgrade from xp 32/64 bit and is this windows 32/64 bit. are you just trying to install the default folder to a differant location?
try copying the contents of the cd to your drive and install that way. do a system file checker also to make sure no corrupt or missing windows 7 files are causing the issue.

as a back up try this site
