You must be an administrator running a console session in order to use the Windows File Checker utility."

Worked like a charm, so thank you! But there were still some corrupted files that were not fixed. I will reboot my computer to see if running the command again will fix the remaining corrupted files. This leads me to ask you about the real
issue at hand.
This whole mess of certain programs not working came about as a result of my installing
a RAMdisk. It's called RAMdisk Plus from Superspeed that actually uses the unmanaged portion of memory between 3 GB and 4 GB in my 32 bit version of Windows 7 Professional. I made it a fixed-size of 900 MB (the utility stated I had about
one gig of unmanaged memory available) and configured a fixed-size 500 MB system paging file in it, as well as the Temporary Internet Files folder managed by Internet Explorer 9. It gives you the option of saving an image of the RAMdisk to a hard drive whenever
the system is shut down. I believe my mistake was not choosing this option and letting the RAMdisk get "zeroed out" upon shutdown and repopulated upon next system startup. That and the fact that I took the paging file off of the C drive and put it in
the RAMdisk. Two other drives have paging files that I created according to the Virtual Memory guidelines offered by Windows 7.
Any advice?
TheRAMdisk utility appears to work fine in my PAE-enabled environment. I just think I've got it improperly configured. When my system timed out and turned off there was a whole pile of index recovery operations that occurred
upon startup. The RAMdisk was also nowhere to be found. I've changed the configuration to put a 400 MB fixed size paging file on my C drive, a variable-size paging file of 300 MB-600 MB along with the Temporary Internet Files on a re-created
RAMdisk of 800 MB and a system-managed paging file on a another drive with lots of room. Another concern I have is with my antivirus software. Is this approach going to cause a problem with my Norton antivirus webpage-monitoring? It
certainly has done so at the time of this writing as I'm unable to get antivirus and network monitoring working. Maybe antivirus software is incapable of accessing a RAMdisk.
I may have to give up this whole idea of using a RAMdisk. ( I was hoping to add another four gigs of memory for the RAMdisk if I can get the current configuration working. )
Your comments are welcome! Sorry about all the detail, but I think it will help you in giving me informed advice.
