It seems to have something to do with the .NET Framework, which I already tried re-installing, but with no success. Googling about, there is very little information about this error and those I have found to have the same problem as mine did not have answers.

Hoping Se7enForums can fix it. Thanks!

Kathy assuming you have not can you run these for starters in safe mode if necessary.

To add Kathy I did find some hits that refer to an update problem and then there was this

What's New in WPF Version 4 whether this is for 7 or 8 am not sure

 

[kathy025]

I have run sfc /scannow (no errors), but not in safe mode. I will try that as well and post results. Thanks.

I encountered that link in MSDN, too bad I wasn't able to find anything related to the error in their forums.

 

[kathy025]

Ran sfc /scannow in Safe Mode w/ Command Prompt. Returned no errors.

Anything else? This issue is really baffling me.

Kathy how about the chkdsk as mentioned in post #2

Now as there was some discussion re updates too what about a system restore too to before the problem started??

Right now I shall be offline for about two hours if I don't reply before then. Try the chkdsk in the meantime with those options it mentions.

Hi ICit2lol,

To check first, I ran the scan-only method for Scandisk (via Properties -> Tools) and unticked the 2 Check disk options. It returned a dialog box saying:

"No problems were found on the device or disk. It is ready to use."

Do I still need to proceed with fixing the errors or is that futile?

 

[ICIT2LOL]

Actually Kathy I prefer the Option 2 method of running the chkdsk it is more exact in my mind and you can include instructions to fix problems with those switches it mentions in the tutorial
http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/433-disk-check.html

All you need to do is follow the tutorial. In my pic is how I do it on my machine and if you are the only user then you should have admin rights - if you are not the only user make sure you are listed as the administrator. If you have any doubts about doing it then post into that tutorial Brink will alway help if you are not sure.

NB Your command prompt window will probably be in black and white I just find blue and white easier on the eye

 

[kathy025]

Thanks, is it better to do it in Safe mode?

 

[ICIT2LOL]

Well to be honest I would for starters Kathy if you are not real sure of just how it is going to be.

 

[kathy025]

Before performing the scandisk, I observed a pattern where the error would always appear before the MediaFire Desktop system tray assistant loaded. I rebooted several times and this proved consistent.

I uninstalled the MediaFire Desktop program and tested several reboots, the error was gone! I believe it may have something to do with startup items (it's a tray manager problem after all) and in my case, it was MediaFire.

Thanks for the help though, I will still perform the scandisk since that one is long overdue in my maintenance list.

No problems Kathy glad it got sorted and if you want some extra performance try the tutorial if you haven't already - it will give you heaps of tips on tidying the machine up in Windows including the Start up stuff .
