I would first try a system restore and if that doesn't work then a Repair Install should definitely work.

Hello PsychoMantiz,

By default the owner of the C: drive would be TrustedInstaller. You might see if restoring the owner back to it may help. If not, then I would recommend what Mr GRiM suggested.

Hope this helps,
Shawn
