I ran sfc /scannow and was advised that Windows Resource Protection had found corrupt files but was unable to fix some of them and the reference given was "C:\Windows\Logs\CBS\CBS.log"

I opened the log and was amazed to find literally yards of pages detailing the problems the scan had found. I also accessed the file of a similar name "CBS.Persist.log" and the information was just as detailed.

To me (the uninitiated) the information is meaningless. Is it worth worrying about the info and if so how do I go about rectifying matters. Quite candidly my system behaves well apart from a flicker at shutdown.

Regards

Then do nothing, delete the file.

"Best Practices", Event viewer, host file, perfmon, antivirus, anti-spyware, Live CD's, backups, are in my top 10
