    baebee,

        Thanks for posting to the Microsoft Answers Forum.  I would suggest that you uninstall\re-install the .Net framework.  This link has excellent instructions and tools to help with this procedure.

    Here's how you fix it:

    Start-->My Computer-->C: Drive-->Windows-->Microsoft.NET-->Framework-->V2.0.50727-->Config

    Within the CONFIG file, Right-Click the 'machine' XML Conf file, go to Properties. Go to 'Security' -->'Edit'-->'Add'-->type in "EVERYONE' (this gives everyone on the computer permissions) after you add this, check the FULL CONTROL box under "Allow" and then APPLY, then OK. This fixes the problem.

    The proble is that the rights on icacls "C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v2.0.50727\CONFIG\machine.config" is set to system and administrator only.

    It should be also a user rx.

     

    To fix, run the command: icacls "C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v2.0.50727\CONFIG\machine.config" /inheritance:e

     

    The cause is possible a installation of an update or a program. I can't still find what program or update is.

    Or delete machine.config, and copy machine.original and remame it to machine.config.

    Thank you for your reply solving my problem.

    My problem was to open the ATi Catalyst Control Center. Every time I start up my computer, a message looks like the message of the top of this page, appears in my screen, and the ATi CCC couldn't open. Now, I've re-installed the Microsoft .NET Framework and looks like my problem with this have been solved, but for this moment, my Windows Live Messenger is crashing when I click to Sign Up. I've tried to reinstall it but looks like it haven't a good condition now.

    What I can do to fix it?

    (Sorry for my bad english, it's because I'm brazilian... and here we haven't a way to practice it. Thanks for the support!)
