Answer 1

Dean is correct. Without detailed information on what activity took place directly BEFORE the errors, we can't help you.

Did you uninstall a program?
Did you delete a folder with shared files?
Did you intall any programs?
Go to any suspicious web sites?

Start by going to Windows Update.
Start Menu | Windows Update

Run through that to see if an update might replace the missing files. Without more information, that's all I can really advice. Sorry.

First update and scan your computer with your security products such as antivirus and antispyware applications. If you computer comes up clean after running your resident security products, you may want to consider running a System File Checker (SFC). This can be run in Safe Mode should you prefer. To get into Safe Mode either hold down or tap the F8 key repeatedly while the computer is starting up. To run SFC, close all applications such as Office, Messenger, Email, etc, and go to:

- Start
- Run
- Type in sfc /scannow (include the space before the " / ")

What SFC does is that it attempts to fix or replace critical operating system files. Sometimes this can be done without the installation disk, however it may prompt you for the appropriate operating system installation disk. If that is the case, then you know that you definitely have file corruption or something missing. Insert the disk if prompted. Also you should run SFC using the Administrator account.

If you have the Vista operating system, the steps are a bit different due to the UAC. See the link below.

Don't surf, play games or do anything while SFC runs. After it is completed, reboot your computer.

One of the major culprits in missing or corrupt operating system files is running a registry cleaner or optimizer. They can flag important shared files for deletion or cleanup. Another cause is malware.

NOTE: Before running any registry cleaner or editing the registry, always ensure you back it up first. If the registry cleaner you are using doesn't have that function, you can do it manually. http://support.microsoft.com/kb/322756

Answer 3

Do a System Restore.

Restart your computer and then repeatedly hit the F8 Function Key. You will get a screen with text-only options to start your computer.

Use the Up / Down arrow keys on your keyboard to select "Last Known Good Configuration".

You will be presented with a screen that asks you to select your Operating System. Using the Up / Down keys again, if necessary, select "Windows XP" and hit enter.

The messages should disappear.

I don't suppose u don't updated your system frequently. Not being able to access you PC personally i can't pin-point the problem. You may even have a bundle of viruses. But odds of getting answer here are very low.
