and this best tutorial for DISM: http://www.tenforums.com/tutorials/7808-dism-re...

If either of these fail or find files that it cannot fix, then the next step is to run a Repair Install which reinstalls Windows while keeping your files, apps and most settings in place, brings it up to the latest version and solves most problems:
