repair corrupt acl

repair corrupt acl My friend is running windows vista and it's not working any more. I've run diagnostics and found that three files in the C:\Windows\System32 folder have corrupt ACLs. System repair fails because windows can't access the files to overwrite or repair those files.

You might want to try running chkdisk /r just in case it's a file system error that's causing the problem. If not then I think your going to need to find a way to move them out of the way so you can replace them with a good copy. Depending on the files you might be able to do that from safe mode, otherwise you'll need a bootable CD (bartpe or ubuntu live cd would be easiest). Once they are out of the way your system repair will probably have a better chance.
