COMPONENTS crashed, 0x800703f1 ERROR_BADDB

Question

Hi,

I am running Windows 8.1. This system is quite fresh (like a week or two).

My updates are not working anymore and I cannot install .NET Framework. I tried to clean then with CleanUP tool (http://blogs.msdn.com/b/astebner/archive/2008/08/28/8904493.aspx) but cannot install it again after all.

Tried to recover with DISM/SFC, but not working. My restore points are quite fresh (few days ago). Shadow copy of drive is disabled.

Answer 1

Unfortunately the automatic repair did not finish successfully ending with error message:

 "program naprawa podczas uruchamianie nie mogl naprawic komputera" which could be translated to "automatic repair couldn't repair your pc".

I have to use restore point, which undo my few-days workstation preparation.

Hi,

Thank you for posting your query on Microsoft Community.

As per the description, I understand that you are getting an error code.

 The error code 0x800703F1 refers to a problem in Windows Registry. Windows registry contains configuration information for different system components, hence, even if the system components are good, a problem in the registry may end up in situations like these. Have you been using "registry cleaning" in the computer for some long periods? Even though they claim to "clean the registry", in the long run, they end up creating situations like these. My suggestion would be to avoid using such programs as much as possible. 

In this scenario, we can try doing a Startup Repair of the system once. Startup repair is usually performed in a Windows system when it fails to boot. Your computer does not have a boot issue. The reason why I would suggest you doing a Startup Repair is for the fact that it tries repairing the kind of registry damages that could lead to situations like (or worse than) this. I believe you have the Windows 8 DVD, you will need it in order to do a Startup Repair. Here is how you can do it: 

1.       Insert the Windows 8 DVD to the CD/DVD drive of the computer and boot the computer up from the Windows 8 DVD. If you are not sure about how to boot up from a   DVD, please refer to the computer's user manual.

2.       In the Windows setup page, select the Language to install, Time and currency format and Keyboard or input method and click Next.

3.       Click Repair your computer and then click Troubleshoot.

4.       Click Advanced options and click Automatic Repair and select the Operating System.

 At this point, Startup Repair will check for problems and try repairing them. Depending on the system configurations and settings, the process may take up to an hour of time. Please be patient and let Startup Repair do its thing. Once completed, it will tell you what it did. Please let us know that output statement. 

Hope this information helps. Please let us know if you need any other assistance with Windows in future. We will be happy to assist you.
