Well, I believe your problem is kinda related with corrupt OS files, incorrect system settings and so on. What you have to do is simply check system files for corruption, restore your machine to an earlier date. Use a hotfix available and if doesn't work go with the other options. Follow the steps given below until your problem is completely resolved. The steps given below can be used for System File Checker and System Restore.

 

Use System File Checker:

 

1. Insert Windows installation disc.

2. Click the Start button.

3. Point to All Programs | Accessories.

3. Select Run.

4. Type the following:

CMD

5. Press ENTER.

6. In the Command Prompt dialog type following command:

SFC /SCANNOW

7. After the process is successfully performed, type EXIT and press ENTER. Reboot your machine for the changes to take effects.

 

 

Use System Restore:

 

1. Click Start, point to All Programs | Accessories | System Tools.

2. Select System Restore.
