this is a brand new laptop that I have encountered this error it says the file or directory is corrupted and unreadable so what do I do not - got that command whilst trying to connect to the internet it has to reset the network every time the laptop is left for a minute - getting fed up with it all now, Just went on this laptop to find out what exactly is meant.

Ever since cimmanifest.exe showed up on my computer it has been telling me that it is a 16 bit program and that I need to contact AMD to get a 64-bit version. I am not a gamer and frankly am not sure if I even need any of the AMD software that has been on my computer from the beginning. Ever since this file showed up I have been getting occasional black screens and the laptop seems slower. I would love to get rid of it, but I cannot even find it in my program files in order to remove it. This is very annoying for an old man who is not expert in such matters.

Hopefully you can fix the problem by uninstalling the Radeon software and install it again.
