    Tried it but it didnt work.
    sfc/scannow still finds corrupt files that it cannot fix , and when i enter gpedit.msc in the run box, windows can't find it.

    Can we get a bit more info here as this could be a bad hard drive. Make and model of pc and desktop or laptop and if custom build how about make and model of hardware including hard drive. Did pc come with Windows 8 or did you install it on an older pc?
    If you go "run" and then devmgmt.msc and hit "enter" on keyboard you can click open hard drive to find mfgr make and model.

    I think this is simply a case of corrupted Windows files. Short of a reinstall, I don't think there is much more you can do.

    You might be right Cindy but I think the reason for the corruption is expiring hard drive.
    If it were Vista yes that seldom survived a corruption and OS was impossible to recover but 7 is so much more resilient I think it took hardware to cause this.
