I'm sorry, but this isn't enough information to get focused
troubleshooting. It can be very hard for a non-technical person to know
what to include in a post to a tech support newsgroup. Here is a link
that will help you with that - http://www.dts-l.org/goodpost.htm

In the meantime, make sure your computer is 100% virus/malware-free:

You have something seriously wrong with your computer, but it is hard to
tell with no more of the error message than that. 0x8010001B is an address
in system space...
But, that is all anyone can say.
