Reinstalling should definitely fix the problem, but you may try a Repair (upgrade) install first. Be sure to backup anything you do not want to lose to be safe though.

Hi have tried everything on the list but does not seam to be working.

Still says that
the recycle bin on C: is corrupted do you want to empty recycle bin on this drive

Also get this some times when saving files:
word cannot complete the save due to a file permission error

Thanks

Hello Namitcoro, and welcome to Seven Forums.

Depending on how long this has been happening, you might see if doing a System Restore using a restore point dated before this problem may be able to fis it for you.

Hope this helps,
Shawn

Been happening for quite a long time, might just reinstall Vista.

Usually when you get corruption, a reinstall ends up being a faster solution.
