i had this problem and it turned out that i was unlucky enough to have a
corrupted sector on my hard drive that was realted to shell32.dll and i had
to get a new hard drive. do all the things everyone else said and use the
following only as a last resort. this could be caused by a virus or spyware
corrupting the sectors, so do a virus scan and a complete thorough scan for
viruses and spyware. there is also a tweak somewhere that might work. if
not, get a new hard drive and transfer your system to that, run a repair with
the system cd and ur good to go. i wouldn't throw away the corrupted hard
drive, because it can still be used as a drive to hold files and data, just
not system files, and u run the small risk of getting one of the files ont
here to land on that corrupted sector and lose that file, but u can still
have the other 79 gb (on an 80 gb hard drive) to store stuff on.
