@Adoringly I apologize for the delay. Since the .NET repair didn't help, try running a couple of basic checks on your Windows system files. The second one (sfc) covers the newest version of the .NET Framework, which shouldn't be involved in running Sims 3, but the Reliability Monitor errors do reference it. (That's a bit weird, but it's easy enough to address.)
Here's what to do:
- Hit Windows key-X
- Choose either “PowerShell (Administrator)” or “Command prompt (Administrator),” whichever option is offered
- Inside the window that appears, copy and paste “DISM.exe /Online /Cleanup-image /Restorehealth” without quotes into the window, and enter
- The system will start validating soon. If it throws an error, please list it here
- After it reaches 100%, hit Windows key-X again
- Again, choose “PowerShell (Administrator)” or “Command prompt (Administrator)”
- Inside the window, copy and paste “sfc /scannow” without quotes into the window, and enter
- Post the message you receive here
So I did both because neither of them did anything. They just sat there like that and didn't do anything.
@Adoringly Okay, restart your computer and type "cmd" without quotes into the search box in the lower left corner of your screen. Command Prompt will show up; be sure to choose the option to Run as Administrator. Use the same directions to run the same two commands as before, and let me know how it goes.
so the first one did the same thing, and this is what happened after the /scannow
@Adoringly Well, that's major progress. Please try to run DISM now that sfc has cleaned up some corruption, then sfc again. It would be interesting to see whether PowerShell worked this time, so please try that option first, but if it doesn't work, use the Command Prompt again. In either case, make sure you still choose the Admin option.
Once sfc has run for the second time, you can create a log of the fixes it made. In Command Prompt (as Admin, as always), please copy and paste this command, and enter:
findstr /c:"[SR]" %windir%\Logs\CBS\CBS.log >"%userprofile%\Desktop\sfcdetails.txt
The log file will land on your desktop; please upload it here.
