Default Windows Vista help PLEASE desperate!!!


I was trying to clip pictures to microsoft onenote and i pressed the link for the picture and for some reason the link opened up 1000000000000 times and i couldnt stop them from opening so i panicked and turned my computer off by pressing and holding the button ( i know, bad). when i logged back on, my computer wouldnt let me open One note , i tried system restore and it wouldnt let me do that either it says:

Windows has detected file system corruption on OS(C you must check the disk for error before you can restore.

I press check disk for errors then it says it cant check while its in use.
it says to schedule a disk check for when my comp starts up again and when i restarted it didnt do it. Im so stuck, i just got this computer and its already ruined!

PLEASE HELP ME, Ask if further details are needed!

You can try to run the disk error checking. From my computer, right click on the drive and select properties, click on the tools tab and under Error-checking select check now. It should check the drive for errors on reboot. Then try system restore again.

If that doesn't work you could re-install one note.

I did try doing that, but it says i cant check disk for errors while in use, it says it will do it when i restart but when i do it doesnt do it.

I tried uninstalling microsoft office, since all of the programs dont work. but it wont even let me uninstall.
it says :

Error 2330 setup cannot get attributes for file C:\programfiles\microsoftoffice\office12\1003.Veri fy hat the file exists in your system and that you have sufficient permissions to update it.

Default Hi!


When your computer boots up; did you try to boot into the command prompt and run chkdisk?

The correct chkdsk command to run from the cmd prompt is chkdsk C: /f

What you can do if you are arleady logged in, you can right-click on the Windows Icon, Explore, go to C:\Windows\System32\cmd.exe then right-click and "Run as." To run as administrator.
