Hello LD,
This error is actually caused by an issue with .NET Framework 4. You can resolve the issue by doing a repair of .NET Framework 4. See this KB article on how that’s done.

2011-09-12T00:25:22+00:00 Updates does not help me. Windows 7 is the worst ever operating system. I had an XP for 7 years and never had a problem, yet I've had to restore my HP P6717 over 10 times because USB direct ports weren't recognized, can print some times yet cannot scan. Now my printers aren't recognized at all. I wish I could get a refund for my Upgrade to Windows 7 Pro. XP was the best system ever developed, yet I haven't tried Mac's yet, but may in the future due to Microsoft and Windows 7.
