  I need help to solve this problem

  Hello

  You did changes to the computer before the show?

  Method 1: I suggest that you run the SFC scan and check if this solves the problem for you:

  http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/929833

  The sfc/scannow command analyzes all protected system files and replaces incorrect versions with appropriate Microsoft versions.

  Method 2: Perform a disk check, follow the steps below:

  1. open the computer by clicking the Start button, click computer.

  2. click on the drive you want to check, and then click Properties.

  3. click on the Tools tab and then, under check for errors, click Find now. If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation.

  To automatically repair problems with files and folders that detects the scanning, select automatically fix file system errors. Otherwise, the disk check will be a problem, but not to fix them.

  To perform a thorough check, select search and attempt to recover bad sectors. This analysis tries to find and repair physical errors on the disk itself, and it may take much longer to complete.

  To check for errors file and the physical errors, select both automatically fix errors in file system and search for and attempt recovery of bad sectors.

  Method 3: Update of the .net Framework.
