You could run the chkdsk disk utility
Click start run type cmd then type chkdsk/r/f which will scan for and attempt to repair any bad sectors and automatically fix any corrupt files on your Hard Drive.
or an easier way to run the chkdsk utility
Windows 7 chkdsk

Or does it need to be updated in the software updater?

Boot in safe mode, search the entire hard disk for Avanquest or Fix-it files and folders and manually delete them. Then boot normally and remove the Fix-it 8 entry from the Add/Remove Programs list using this

Finally run a good registry cleaner like

After that you will be able to install your new program.

If you're running anything older than Windows 7,go to Start,Run,type in msconfig,a couple seconds later a box will pop up with several tabs one of which is Startup.Open the startup tab and look down the list of checked boxes for anything having to do with Avanquest,Fix-it,or anything else that you know was part of that program,and uncheck the box or boxes.Click apply,and then you have the option to restart your machine right then,or restart later.That's your choice,but if it's really annoying to have the pop-up I'd restart now.
The onle difference with Windows 7 is that when you open Start you're already active in the "action" box,there's no Run box.
Let me know what happens,I'll keep trying if that doesn't work.
Good or bad,please rate my post?
Thanks

Hi,
You can find updates/upgrades at:

just disable the firewall first, but don't let the other security tools down

Sorry to hear about your trouble. From the error you stated, it seems your SR got corrupted (common with norton/symantec products). The best bet is to try System Restore from Safe Mode.

As for your second problem, here is an alternate way to access Safe Mode (I am assuming you can get into Normal Mode):

1. Go to START, then RUN
2. type "msconfig" and hit enter
3. the system configuration window will appear
4. among the several tabs across the top, one of them will say "boot.ini", click this tab
5. there will be a box that you can check next to Safe Mode.
6. Click Apply, then OK
7. Restart
8. Keep in mind that your computer will automaticall go in to safe mode until you uncheck this box.

Good luck and keep us updated!
