STOP: C0000135 The program can't start because %hs is missing. Try resintalling the program

Hi.

Does anyone know what this is? I've been experiencing other errors and blue screen like KERNEL Debug, but now that I have installed a fresh copy of Windows 7, tonight for the first time I experienced a problem, beginning with the screen freezing, then Crtl+Alt+Delete wouldn't work at all, and it ended up with the blue screen saying: ''STOP: C0000135 The program can't start because %hs is missing. Try resintalling the program. ...''   blla blla blla...

I wonder whether the cause might be because I have installed the Windows 7 from a copy cd, not from Original Windows 7 cd, or maybe I use some music softwares and maybe ANY of them might cause this.

Whatever the cause is, is there a way of frixing it, or shall I end up with formatting and installing again a fresh Windows 7?

If any of you would tell me to do a Disk Check, I have tried before to CHKDSK but funnily, Windows 7 sucked in it. It was going damn slow, never would end. It would take days or weeks. You can't even make a Defragmentation with the Windows 7's  own defrag program.

My computer has this performances:

ASUS N90S

Intel Core 2 Duo 2.0

nVidia GEFORCE GT220

4 GB Ram Memory

2x500 GB Hard Disk

Windows for home | Previous Windows versions | Windows update

    If chkdsk won't complete, it would seem like your disk is bad.  Consider checking it out with a SMART tool e.g. HDTune or manufacturer diagnostics.

    I also ran into this this morning, after AVG 2011 updated itself last night.  My fingers are Xed because I'm running Windows on Macbook Pro bootcamp!  I found this older article on something similar :

      http://www.raymond.cc/blog/archives/2008/11/13/restore-or-reinstall-missing-user32dll-c0000135-error-caused-by-avg-false-positive/

    although, if it has affected a different file than the one mentioned it's not going to help.  The files it mentions, however, make me wonder whether there is a way to prevent AVG from starting on bootup...

    I'll report anything interesting.

    The guidance you encountered regarding bitness of Windows seems accurate.

    Regarding chkdsk / the disk / the freezes - system freezes or lockups can be a symptom of a failing disk or other failing hardware.  Is chkdsk now able to complete, where it previously was not?  What did it report? Did you run e.g. HDTune or DiskSmartView to check the disk's SMART status?  New hardware is not immune from faults...

    Hi.

       Tank you for your reply. As for the hard disk being bad... my laptop is brand new, I have just bought it last month, so I wouldn't think that it's because of that. When I bought it, it came with the Windows 7 Swedish, since I live in Sweden, and after just a few days later I installed W7 English (from a copy). So I'm thinking, MAYBE it wouldn't have caused it with the original Windows 7 Swedish.

       Anyway, luckily, I am not having that problem again, but what also bothers me sometimes is screen freezing; Crtl+Alt+Del wouldn't work at all. Funnily, it happens especially if I keep the computer on but don't use it for like, an hour or longer.

       I also use some music softwares to compose and arrange music, but some of them don't work as good as they used to work with Windows XP!!!

       Finally and simply, according to the performances of my LapTop PC which I described, does the Bit version play any role in running Windows 7 smoothly? Is it better to install a Windows 7 32-bit or 64-bit? According to the Microsoft, in a pc with 4 GB RAM memory it is recommend that a Windows 7 64-bit be installed, while in a pc with 2 GB RAM memory a 32-bit version.

       Thanks...
