    Hi j_butler2.
    Download and run adwcleaner and junk removal tool (at least), check Free tools (Anti-malware, anti-spyware, anti-virus) that you could use to inspect your computer.
    Anyway if you try also the other softwares, it won't hurt for sure.

    garioch7 got a reaction from xilolee in CD Burning   
    If you are talking about a standalone CD player in a car or attached to a stereo system, the media files must be burned in "audio CD" format to be played.  Those CD music files can also be played in a computer CD drive.
     
    If you save your media files (.mp3, .wav, .wma) as data files on a CD, then a standalone CD player cannot play those files, but your computer CD drive should be able to do so just fine.  The link below might help explain:

    The yellow mark indicates that the computer is unable to establish a wireless internet connection.  You will need to set up a wireless connection via the Network and Sharing Centre (right click the icon), if you have not already done so.  If you have set up a wireless network, then something is not working and you will need to troubleshoot the issue.  There is troubleshooter in the Network and Sharing Centre.

    - click start, type cmd in the searchbox, press and keep pressed ctrl + shift Keys on your keyboard, then press enter, click yes on the user account control window that should appear


    Download and run System Update Readiness Tool for Windows 7 for x64-based Systems (KB947821) [May 2014]
    Then, from an elevated command prompt, launch sfc /scannow, wait till it finishes (15-50 minutes), remember/copy the final message (because later I'd like to see it posted here).
    Then launch this command: copy %SYSTEMROOT%\Logs\CBS\CheckSUR.log %userprofile%\desktop\CheckSUR.txt && copy %SYSTEMROOT%\logs\cbs\cbs.log %userprofile%\desktop\cbs.txt && findstr /c:"[SR]" %userprofile%\desktop\cbs.txt > %userprofile%\desktop\SR.txt After it, you'll find three files on your desktop: checkSUR.txt, cbs.txt and SR.txt.
    Post here the checkSUR.txt, the sr.txt and the final message of the SFC tool.
    If the command won't work, try these:
    copy %SYSTEMROOT%\Logs\CBS\CheckSUR.log %userprofile%\desktop\CheckSUR.txt copy %SYSTEMROOT%\logs\cbs\cbs.log %userprofile%\desktop\cbs.txt findstr /c:"[SR]" %userprofile%\desktop\cbs.txt > %userprofile%\desktop\SR.txt

    UCanFixit and Xilolee:
     
    Just back to report that the laptop is restored to health using UCanFixit's steps.  I counted four folders and three manifest files that needed to be deleted and four registry keys.  I am very grateful to UCanFixit.
     
    That said, how many "average" users would be comfortable "taking ownership" of Windows System Files and deleting them and then mucking about in their registry?  Most of the folks around here, in the small rural community where I retired, don't even know what a "registry" is.
     
    I really do think that the Wise Care programmers need to adopt the philosophy of physicians: "Do No Harm."
     
    My confidence in Wise Care has been seriously compromised by having this issue inflicted upon me.  Thank goodness for UCanFixit, who persevered to find a solution to a problem which should never have occurred in the first place, according to my thinking.
     
    Thank you again, UCanFixit.  You did fix it, not me.  Fortunately I knew enough to be dangerous and had full confidence in UCanFixit's diagnosis and cure.

    Hey Phil,
     
    That's great news! Thanks for the additional tips on deleting those files. Also, maybe I really only found 4 or 5 registry entries as well. Your findings (eg, number count) seem to make more sense BTW. Also, thanks for all your followup details as they definitely reinforce the precision of the overall procedure.

    UCanFixit/Xilolee:
     
    I have followed the steps outlined by UCanFixit and they did eliminate the sfc resource integrity violations resulting from Wise Care deleting, by default, the Sample Pictures.
     
    If others are going to follow UCanFixit's steps, note that if you are deleting the files and folders from the Explorer "Found Files" window, it was my experience that I had to refresh the screen (F5) after taking ownership and then deleting each file and folder in order for it to show that the deletion was successful.
     
    UCanFixit mentioned around 15 registry keys to be deleted.  On my Windows 7 Pro x64 computer, I only found four or five "photosamples" keys to delete and a reboot was not necessary for the sfc to report no integrity violations.
     
    I will do the fix to my laptop later this afternoon, which is running Windows 7 Home Premium x64 and if there are any changes to what I observed with my main computer, I will post them here.
     
    I still am of the opinion that Wise Care 365 should not be offering to delete the Sample Pictures, by default.  If the programmers are going to continue that option, then they need to program in UCanFixit's steps behind the scenes to avoid having the user encounter Windows System Resource Integrity violations.
     
    One other note:  The actual photos in the "Pictures\Public Pictures\Sample Pictures" do remain unaffected and undeleted for those who really love those photos ... not!
     
    I am very grateful to UCanFixit for his many hours of work and his expertise.  This Forum is extremely fortunate to have someone so knowledgeable and dedicated to his fellow users.  THANK YOU, UCANFIXIT!!!
     
    Have a great day.

    Hello Phil (and all),

    OK, I have found a solution that should work for all. Here are the steps involved:

    1. Create a backup system image as a precaution.
     
    2. Search your C drive for the keyphrase "photosamples" (without quotes) and delete all referenced files and folders.
    Note: To delete these files and folders, you must take ownership of each one and assign admin priviledges to each delete process.

    Note: This registry mod might make it easier to take ownership as it adds the right-click option to explorer: 
    http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/windows-vista/add-take-ownership-to-explorer-right-click-menu-in-vista/
     
    3. Next, use regedit to search the registry for "photosamples" (without quotes) and delete all found references (about 15 or so if I remember correctly).
    Note: All of these references point to the deleted files and folders found in step 2. Here is an example of what you will find:

     
    4. Reboot and run sfc /scannow again. It should now be clean of those nagging Photo Samples issues because they no longer exist (anywhere).
     
    5. You are done!

    Xilolee:
     
    With respect, it is unacceptable for reputable software to cause system resource integrity violations in Windows 7 by default.  The opposite should occur.  The software should warn the user that removing those files will cause sfc /scannow violations and Windows System Readiness Tool checksur.log violations.
     
    UCanFixit (thank you) and I have spent hours trying to resolve the issue that Wise Care caused to my laptop and my main tower computer.  We still have not solved the "desktop.ini" system resource integrity violation affecting both of them.
     
    I have a friend's computer in here for virus (boot sector) and antimalware removal.  I received it yesterday.  I have had his computer here before and resolved his issues and also previously installed Wise Care on it.  I have removed Wise Care from his computer today and I will removing it from all other computers that I come in contact with unless Lespeed fixes this problem.  It is too dangerous for the average user.
     
    It is difficult enough to diagnose what viruses and malware have done to Windows system resource integrity without having to examine cbs.log and checksur.log files for unnecessary violations caused by Wise Care.  The amount of space saved by deleting those Sample files is not at all commensurate with the consequences to the user and to those trying to assist the user.
     
    I will leave Wise Care 365 Pro on both my computers for the time being (I have three licences), but it will be uninstalled if the programmers think that the current behaviour of their program does not need to be corrected.  I am certain that UCanFixit and I would both like to be reimbursed for our time and trouble trying to fix the damage done by Wise Care ... and we are not there yet.
     
    The program obviously has authority to remove files from protected areas of the Windows system.  To copy the files back, I had to take ownership way down in the bowels of the winsxs folder.  This is well beyond the knowledge of your average user who is obviously trusting that if Wise Care recommends something, like deleting the Samples, it is safe to do.
     
    I don't think Windows is at fault.  We could have a philosophical discussion forever on whether Microsoft should have made those files so important to system integrity, but the bottom line is that they did and the Wise Care programmers should have known that and not offered to remove them, by default.
     
    I realize that you are a Moderator and not a representative of Lespeed, but I am sure you would not be happy if it happened to your computer.  I only learned of this "default behaviour" because it was identified to me as a possible cause of Malwarebytes Anti-Malware (MBAM) not successfully completing an anti-rootkit scan on my laptop.  Windows would report that MBAM had stopped working.  Ultimately, the missing Sample Pictures turned out not to be cause but it wasted a lot of time for me and the Malwarebytes Anti-Malware removal experts, and it still is.    After exhaustive analysis in the Malwarebytes Anti-Malware Removal Forum, it was ascertained that my laptop was not infected and that it seemed to be related to an "architectural" issue with my particular DELL model of laptop.  An MBAM beta release solved the issue and it had been reported to them from some other users with a similar issue and they fixed the issue.
     
    That is what one expects.  If a problem is identified, then the company should respond.  As UCanFixit has stated, the programmers at Wise Care can replicate this issue on any Windows 7 computer if they take the time.  There is a huge base of Windows 7 users out there, like myself, who want nothing to do with Windows 8/8.1.
     
    I publicly commend UCanFixit for his contributions to this Forum and also for taking hours of his time, behind the scenes, in private messages, to try to help me repair the damage incurred to my two computers because I trusted Wise Care's defaults.
     
    I have several licences for Piriform CCleaner Pro and that will be my cleaner of choice for now, as it was until someone I respected suggested that Wise Care was better.  CCleaner has never caused any Windows system resource integrity violations in the years that I have used it.
     
    In my humble opinion, Wise Care needs to fix this issue, pronto.  Their cleaning defaults are just too aggressive.
     
    Respectfully Submitted,
    -Phil

    Wisecleaner_Admin:  I am the user that UCanFixit is referring to me and he has been going above and beyond to try to help me to undo the damage done by Wise Care.  The deletion of the Sample Pictures causes the System File Checker (sfc) Windows utility to report uncorrectable system resource integrity violations.  I, and UCanFixit, have spent hours trying to undo the damage, so far unsuccessfully.  By default, Wise Care removes those sample pictures and both of my computers are affected.
     
    I FULLY support UCanFixit's request.  No reputable cleaning software should cause, by default, Windows 7 system resource integrity violations.  In fact, a reputable cleaner would warn the user, if he or she did check the box to remove the sample photos, that system resource integrity violations will result.
     
    Until this is fixed, I will revert back to using my CCleaner Pro program.  At least it NEVER caused system resource integrity violations.  I consider the current Wise Care approach to this serious issue to be unacceptable.
     
    Have a great day.
