System File Checker Log Inaccessible

I'm having some problems with IE locking up (apparently only when using
Yahoo's and/or Google's streaming stock quotes). Closing IE via Task Mgr
fixes the problem until I go back to Yahoo/Google quotes.

I opened a CMD window (as Administrator), ran System File Checker (SFC
/SCANNOW), and got the following message:

"Verification 100% complete.Windows Resource Protection found corrupt files
but
was unable to fix some of them.
Details are included in the CBS.Log windir\Logs\CBS\CBS.log. For example
C:\Windows\Logs\CBS\CBS.log"

When I try to open C:\Windows\Logs\CBS\CBS.log, a nastygram pops up -
"Access Denied".

Surprisingly, this is the first time I've ever ran SFC /SCANNOW and haven't
been prompted to load the O/S disk. But then, maybe it's the first time in
Vista.

Any ideas of how to find out what's going on?

Hi Brink,

Read the article, read the log file, then followed the directions to replace
the corrupt file (tcpmon.ini). All went well, but did another SFC /SCANNOW,
only to get the same error. Apparently the tcpmon.ini file I used to
replace the corrupt one was also corrupt.

Am I safe in assuming I need to do a Vista Repair from the Console - or is
that going to try to use the same file?

Hi Toyman,

The "How to Read the CBS.LOG" section a little bit down in this
tutorial will show you how to be able to read it.

Hope this helps you,
