you need to do a windows update.. go to the start menu and then find the windows update link.. if you cannot find it go on to google and do a search for microsoft windows update.. .. Make sure you are sent to a www. microsoft.. site and download all updates and any software and hardware updates. that should sort you out.. if not you have a program conflict.
