terrisheridan1 Posted February 28, 2014 Author Report Share Posted February 28, 2014 Hi, Had no luck with this either it says: "The element date type specified is not recognized or does not apply to the specified entry. Element not found" Thanks anyway worth a try. There must be some sort of corruption somewhere or virus but my anti virus is not picking up anything. So I have no "Data execution protection working" DEP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
garioch7 Posted February 28, 2014 Report Share Posted February 28, 2014 Have you tried running "sfc /scannow" from an elevated command prompt? It will check for, and attempt to repair, corrupted system files, as well as producing a log file that you can examine. Hope this helps. Have a great day.

terrisheridan1 Posted February 28, 2014 Author Report Share Posted February 28, 2014 Hi Phil, Thanks for tip. I carried out your instructions and the outcome was "Resource Protection did not find any integrity violations" so that good news. Have a great day too. Regards, back to the drawing board.

terrisheridan1 Posted March 2, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 2, 2014 Hi, Uninstalled antivirus as it would not let me do anything when I disabled it, Restored my computer to a much earlier date when all was working. Then did what you said but put in "always on at the end" all ok. Many Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
