      This is one I don't think I have seen before. All access to the files and such have been replaced with ownership to [TrustedInstaller].

      Even the local administrator is not being allow to make changes. I am in the process of taking ownership (Administrators), but it appears that several files are reporting it is not possible (paging.sys and others).

      Anyone see this before?

        Might need to remove the HDD and slave this into another computer if it's critical, because with something this badly borked up, that might be your only choice.

            This is normal, and is expected for system files.. http://helpdeskgeek.com/windows-7/windows-7-how-to-delete-files-protected-by-trustedinstaller/
