Hi Paul,

You need to run it in a elevated command prompt. (Run as Administrator)
This tutorial will help help you with it.

Have you tried running SFC in safe mode? Restart your Computer, tap F8 until
the startup options appear, select Safe Mode.

The problem is in your primary hard disk drive partition (usually C and the
solution is to check this partition for errors: open Computer, right-click on
this partition (local disk), click Properties, click the Tools tab, click
Check Now, schedule a disk check for the next time your computer starts,
restart your computer and let CHKDSK run its course. After your computer
retstarts you should have no problem running SFC /SCANNOW succesfully.

I have the same issue, but neither of these solutions has worked. I have run chkdsk and done this in Safe Mode.

I have Vista x64 Ultimate. I tried to run:

sfc /scanfile="C:\Program Files\Windows Sidebar\settings.ini"

I got the following output:

Windows Resource Protection could not perform the requested operation.

Quote:

C:\Program Files\Windows Sidebar>sfc /scanfile=settings.ini

Windows Resource Protection could not perform the requested operation.
