Go to Run, type in 'sfc' (without quotes) and it will open System File Checker. You can check for corrupt files there.

Try here to check that error msg:

Drop by Nathan's www.helponthe.net/nathan/ (http://www.helponthe.net/nathan/) He'll have a list of protection errors with the corresponding links to Microsoft's knowledge base.

You'll be using the System File Checker Tool under System Tools/SystemInfo.

Do a search for article number Q129605 at MS. support.microsoft.com/support/c.asp? (http://support.microsoft.com/support/c.asp?)

This should give you a head start.

edit-
