Dear Glokuch: This is a great and helpful site, however, for a more helpful and specific response you may want to include a bit more information. (also try to not write as if your X-mas tree just caught on fire)

Restart you computer in safe mode with command line.
At the C:\ type in scandisk.

There is a file missing which your OS is trying to locate. Do the basic scan (AV, Disc Scan), if that does not work, the next safe thing to do is a repair. If it dosen help, THANK YOU FOR LOGGING TO BLEEPING .COM

Haaa......

I mean ...log in again and let us noe what happen...
