    Hello Sambeefy, and welcome to Vista Forums.

    Since you say you do not know much about computers, then you might try doing a System Restore at boot (Method Two) using a restore point dated before this error to try and fix it.


    If that does not help, then you can try this tutorial if comfortable doing it.

    Hope this helps,
