Can you please run SFCFix again? But this time just double click on it. Once this is done a notepad file should pop up, please post the contents back into this thread. The should hopefully tell me which one of the above files is causing this corruption.

Yes please.
It worked man, scannow didn't find anything wrong.
What was all that about, corrupt registry? I regularly use ccleaner, could that be the reason?
Anyway, THANK YOU SO MUCH.
Hope it doesn't happen anymore and I hope that was the cause off the sudden freezing/hanging I was experiencing.
edit: Actually, wait, when I drag and drop the SFCFixscsript over at SFCFix.exe, it still gives me this:

Your welcome :)
The registry was not corrupt, the value for this file was incorrect (incorrect is not the right word here, but it is the best word I can think of at this time).
Compression of System files is very common Windows 8. Microsoft spent a great deal of time finding ways to compress the WinSxS folder due to a lot of complaints from end users/company's and OEM's, a lot of people were complaining about the size of the WinSxS folder on there machine as it could grow about ~12G. Having a larger WinSxS folder wasn't a big issue when everyone had 1Tb or 2TB HDD, as these HDD were (and still are) so cheap to buy. But one of the issues was when SSD come along. These were expensive and a lot of people bought ones that were about 50GB in size, if you had a WinSxS folder that was ~12G that would be almost a 1/4 of your SSD space, as you can imagine there were a large amount of complaints about this.
Now the query I asked you to run earlier that returned the following result:
Code:

CF REG_DWORD 0x280Shows that f!msdtc.log has the value 0x21. When the value is set to 0x21 it indicates that SFC /SCANNOW will be looking for a compressed version of msdtc.log, if the value is set to 0x1 it means the SFC will look for a file that is not compressed. What we did here is change the value to tell SFC not to look for a compressed version of this file.
No not in this case. But I would recommend that you do not use the registry cleaner, I have seen this cause far to many damaged computers from people using registry cleaners.
That is perfectly normally :) Inside SFCFixScript.txt you will see:
Code:
FileScan::
msdtc.logWhat this does is scan your computer for any file called msdtc.log.
Hope this helps.

Your welcome.
With this sort of thing, prevention is not always something that can be done. There can be hundreds of different reasons as to why a file corruption.

Hi All
I have the same issue with MSDTC.LOG file not being compressed and well I tried to follow steps described above and setting 1's for scf to not to consider MSDTC.LOG file as compressed but it did not work. I am attaching the log file generated after I ran SFCFix.exe. I would be really thankful if you could help me. I am also posting here the content of the file.
Thank you a lot!
