Bob: I did set the power options to high performance as soon as it booted up after the install. I will runn chkdsk /r when I get home this afternoon. Is there a difference between scheduling it through cmd or using Windows7 ?

There is no difference between running through the cmd or using Windows 7 assuming you select the right parameters. With cmd you would be using the /r parameter. With Windows 7 | Drive? | Properties check off both Auto fix… and Scan for… As you no doubt are aware, either will process on rebooting.

I reinstalled Windows 7. I went to windows update and installed all the important updates and one optional update related to the intel chipset in my computer. I rebooted after the updates were installed, successfully according to Windows. What happens when I reboot? Chkdsk runs. Why? The only other things I had installed were Microsoft Secrity Essentials and Malwarebyte’s Anti Malware. Something is not right.

OK, reset the Power Option settings to High Performance if you haven’t done so already.

Force a chkdsk /r to run on reboot, then restart and check the Event Viewer for the Wininit log. If everything looks ok, try another restart and see if things have settled down.

If not, check let me know if there are any messages, Critical or Error in the Event Viewer. If so, provide the description(s).

I did uninstall PSP and ran chkdsk /r again. Event viewer shows no errors this time. However the log show I have had over 57,000 errors in the last 24 hrs.
Here is a screen shot of some of the errors I mentioned in my last post:
One other strange thing happened this time. I went to open Mozilla Thunderbird to check my email and I had to set up my account again. It was as if this was the first time I had used it. Very weird.

As in my previous post, I would recommend checking for malware. I notice that you are running NOD32 and if you are using the current version, it does have spyware protection… but I`m not positive about its ability to detect and remove malware. Perhaps you should make that your next process.

Regarding the 57,000 logged items… once things have settled, you can always archive the log and perform the clear operation to remove them from your history.

Again, also think about performing that Repair Install of W7

Edited: to correct the remark about you using NOD32… I misread ESENT for ESET (which is NOD32)
