    Have you enabled DEP? Control Panel > System > Adv Settings > Advanced tab > Performance > Data Execution Prevention
    Enable DEP for all programs (all programs and services except those I select)

    Also, what are your security policies? (resultant Set of Policies). Click on "run" and paste rsop.msc in the box, click ok another window will open, click on Security folder ... what does it say?

    @Adec, What brand is your computer?
    It's a HP computer. Bought via. a work deal. (much cheaper)

    @Orbital Shark - I have tried that. Right now, i have then all turned on...

    - EDIT: I didn't try that before downloading some fresh drivers - Doing now.
    Okay, now i have the drivers - and tried to tick "Use visual styles on windows & buttons". When i does it says: "The Visuel Layouttypes couldn't be used"


    @derekimo - I tried to run that sfc/scannow in the elevated command prompt. It got to 6%, and then stopped with the message: Windows Resource Protection could not do the wanted action.

    NOTE: I tried to restore my update thing back to before thing error accoured. - My computer startet up saying: Systemristoring couldn't pack the file (C:\Windows\Resources\Themes\Aero\da-DK\aero.msstyles.mui) - I looked in that folder, and that file isn't there. Actually the whole folder "da-DK" isn't there...

    Sometimes if you rerun the WEI index it will allow for aero to work again. It might be worth running sfc /scannow in case some of your system files were corrupted.
    Actually it was me who first posted the sfc /scannow although I'm certain that Derekemo and I posted at the same time LOL.

    If you can't complete the scan then your system is corrupted big time and you would be best off using system restore or using an image which you have created earlier or try doing a start up repair from the Windows CD.

    Since you found your disc, you might want to try a repair install, it will allow you

    to preserve your user accounts, data, programs, and system drivers.
