Try if emptying the windows\temp directory helps.

    In your windows directory.

    Use a thrid party tool like ccleaner to help you with that if your unsure what you're doing.

      I used CCleaner, but it didn't help. I keep getting the error. On top, CCleaner messed up several other programs on my laptop (autoCAD, Chrome And Microsoft Office, to name a few) and on top of that my laptop is unable to connect to any wireless network. And due to the same error I had with the sims game I can't run the system recovery properly. I don't know what to do any more

        Are you sure you don't have a virus of some kind ?

        CCleaner only cleans out the files you tell it too. Did you just clean out the temp directory or did you do other stuff ?

        How are the programs messed up ? Do they not run anymore ? Any error messages ?
