    thanks buddy, but sfc.exe /scannow didn't work and i faced to another error! (windows resource protection could not start the repair service).

    finally i found the solution:

    1. If you are receiving the "Low Registry Space" error, set the Registry Size Limit to "unlimited":

    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Control

    Key: RegistrySizeLimit

    Type: REG_DWORD

    Value: 0xffffff (4294967295)

    1. Reboot
    2. As a Administrator open a Command Prompt and run "SFC /SCANNOW". The command should complete successfully and if any errors were found, they should be corrected.

    follow the steps and enjoy!

    My screen in Add /Remove windows features is blank. I am running Win 7 64 bit. The fix listed in this post did not work. My checksur log shows missing files. Could Microsoft oaid services fix this remotely. I really do not want to do a reinstall,I would have to because I no longer have my SP 1 backup files.
