Hi Keith,

I had the same problem with a laptop quite some time ago after using a registry cleaning program. I got the problem solved via this link.
I keep my fingers crossed that you will get the same result.
Good luck,
Ulrich

Hi Ulrich, Thanks for the link. It offers download for £19 is there a free fix ?

Be careful. I've tried several of these "reg" programs and they all come up with different number of "reg" problems. You could try "CCleaner" by Piriform. Its a free program but is constantly updated and offers several other options to keep your PC in top condition.

Thanks Tony, I already have that cleaner. it doesn't remove it.

Hi Keith

It's quite a while now since I last used a Windows system, but do recall getting an error like this on someones machine that hadn't been regularly updated, I did manage to eventually fix it.

From what I recall it was a registry fix type problem, whilst you will have to decide for yourself if you comfortable with with the source and happy to run it, this may be of help?

Thanks Gary, It gave me 30 days free and seems to have got rid of it,

Free fix - borrow an XP disc and install XP - much better operation system.
