Hi,

Have you made any changes to your computer prior to the issue?

Method 1: Run SFC scan. System File Checker (sfc) scan will make Windows replace corrupt or missing system files on your computer.

 Steps to perform sfc scan:

a. Click Start, click All Programs, click Accessories, right-click Command Prompt, and select Run as Administrator.

b. Click Continue or supply Administrator credentials if prompted.

c. In the Command Prompt window type the following, and press Enter:

sfc /scannow

Refer this KB article for more information:

Method 2:

Check if the issue persists in safe mode, to boot the computer in safe mode follow the below steps:

a.     Restart the computer and press and hold F8 key (Press and hold f8 key before the windows logo).

b.     From the advanced boot option select ‘Safe mode’.

One way I have been able to fix this with our users, is to recreate their profile from scratch.

  1. I reboot the PC.
  2. Then login with the domain admin account.
  3. I rename the users folder that is having the issue and delete the users registry entry in {HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\ProfileList}
  4. I also rename the users profile folder in the DC this is the username.V2 folder.
  5. I log off their PC and have user log in.
  6. After they authenticate their desktop looks brand new with none of their files, so I log back in as admin and copy over their files from the local users folder I renamed.

This is the only way I have been able to fix this in a domain environment using Windows 7 desktops. I hope this helps.

    When I run "sfc /scannow" everything seems ok. But, I still get "Class not registered" when I click on "Component Services" under "Administartive Tools" in the Control Panel, Windows 7.

    When I run the above command, I get lots of errors. For example:

    Microsoft Visual C++ Runtime Error Program c:\windows\sys WOW64\regsvr32.exe RB034 an application has made an attempt to load the c runtime library incorrectly

    R6034 an application made an attempt to load ATL80.dll incorrectly

    Java plug in 10.60.2 is not installed properly

    The specified resource language ID cannot be found in the image file McShield.dll

    Regsvr32.exe application error. the instruction at 0x774311b8. Referenced memory at 0x0000004a. The memory could not be read

    What do I do about these errors?
