It is now my understanging that this is an error in the vista filing system
there is no quick fix to the problem, the only way to fix this is if you keep
having the problem is to save all your files and programs to disk and do a
factory restore and just hope windows will address the problem sooner rather
than later. Hope this is of some help. Decko

Did you install anything?
Does vista still work? If not try running startup repair.
