This is maddening! I had posted a problem with png in Vista. I believe that
it is causing graphic display problems with IE7. One reply suggested that I
use my installation disk and run the system file check utility (sfc /scannow)
to repair what may be a corrupted file. I inserted the Vista installation
disk and rebooted my system, eventually the "repair" prompt menu appeared. I
selected the cmd prompt which then launched the command window. I then
entered sfc /scannow, and within a few seconds received the following error
message, "windows resource protection could not perform the requested
operation". Believe me, I am not one who throws up his hands in utter
despair, but - as much as I hate to admit it, Vista is about to give me a
thorough beat down! There just has to be an easier way to fix a corrupted or
missing system file in Vista! I consider myself to have above average
experience with operating systems, and I am freaking out! I can't imagine
what this must be like for the average PC user with Vista installed trying to
find satisfaction with a problem issue! My prayers go out to them! Please
someone help!

Hi:

I am having the exact same problem and am also pulling my hair out.
Did you ever figure how to fix or work around this problem.

regards and thanks

I right clicked the command prompt and selected run as administrator and agreed to the UAC prompt and typed sfc /scannow and at 68% it said windows resource protection could not perform the requested operation. I know I have corrupted files as I had difficulty when I did a vista upgrade. Tonight I'll try it by trying a repair with the operating system upgrade disk, but I'm betting I will get the same "can't perform the requested operation". I read that I could run it as Trusted Installer, but I haven't figured that one out yet. Anyone else having this type of problem. I hate to start from scratch if I don't have to. any ideas?
