    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,
