    Hello lovely2040,

    Thank you for using Microsoft Answers forums.  I suggest you use the system file checker tool.  To use the System File Checker tool (SFC.exe).   To do this, follow these steps:

    1.       Open an elevated command prompt. To do this, click Start, click All Programs, click Accessories, right-click Command Prompt, and then click Run as administrator. If you are prompted for an administrator password or for a confirmation, type the password, or click Allow.

    2.       Type the following command, and then press ENTER:

    sfc /scannow

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


    Thanks for using the Answers Forum. Please let us know how this works out.
