I also got the same problem llanita... I haven't found a solution yet; it's very annoying.
I've also made a topic about this problem, but i'll keep on following this one too

Please start your own new thread - We are beginning to see solutions, but need to check applicability first.

I've only just now noticed a link to the Microsoft Community Forums that Icit2lol posted in my thread. I followed everything else she posted, but totally missed that link.
I believe NoelD is on the same track from what she asked me to post this morning from my Command Prompt.

Thanks for that!

Please open an Elevated Command Prompt, and run the following command to tidy up.

REG DELETE HKLM\COMPONENTS /v pendingrequiredRENAME

close the window, and reboot.

My apologies!

Ok, I've already made my own thread in this forum section

Ok this is what I get

Microsoft Windows [Version 6.1.7601]
Copyright (c) 2009 Microsoft Corporation. All rights reserved.

C:\Windows\system32>REG DELETE HKLM\COMPONENTS /v pendingrequiredRENAME
Delete the registry value pendingrequiredRENAME (Yes/No)? Yes
ERROR: The system was unable to find the specified registry key or value.

C:\Windows\system32>

It's there when I run the first command you gave me.

 

[NoelDP]

Ooops - a typo on my part

the command should have been...

REG DELETE HKLM\COMPONENTS /v pendingrequiredRENAMED

Sorry about that!

 

[llanita]
