Sounds like you have some 'bad sectors' or 'bad file sectors' on your hard drive. Have you ran an ERROR CHECK yet? If not, go to MY COMPUTER, Right-click your C drive and Click PROPERTIES/// Click ERROR CHECKING,,, Put tics in BOTH boxes. The first tic tells it to fix file errors, the 2nd tic tells it to fix bad sectors. Restart and let it complete this. What happens is when you install a program on your computer, Windows will throw the files onto your hard drive in no particular order. So when you click on the program, Windows must now locate all the files the program needs and brings them back together for the program to run. Defrag simply puts these files as close together as possible so your program will load up much quicker. If there's a bad sector, then defrag can't complete, so fixing the bad sector first, then defragging should work for you.

Boot the machine in safe mode and then try it.
To get into safe mode boot the machine and during the boot process hit f8 and it will give you the option to run in safe mode.

I had this problem when my computer was infected with a trojan worm program.
Put it in safe mode and try again like everyone is saying. Make sure you only quarantine the virus when you find it, because it is obviously in your system software and deleting it will corrupt them.

Sorry to tell you that your computer have been messed up, back up your important files then format your PC and reinstall your PC, that's the best you can do. Sorry!
Good luck!
