    Hi Shamrockjim,

    1. Do you remember making any changes to the computer prior to this issue?
    2. Does this happen only when you install Windows update and TuneUp mp3 management software?

    This error can be caused due to Runtime components of Visual C++ Libraries are missing or due to software problem.

    Method 1:

    You may reinstall the Runtime components of Visual C++ Libraries to resolve the problem.

    You can uninstall any existing Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable Package and install the latest Microsoft Visual C++ 2010 Redistributable Package and check if it helps.

    Step 1: To uninstall the package:

    a. Open Programs and Features.

    b. From the list, find Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable Package and click on it.

    c. Right click onit and select Uninstall

    d. Restart the computer.

    Step 2: Download and install the latest package and see if it helps.

    Download details: Microsoft Visual C++ 2010 Redistributable Package (x86)

    Method: 2

    If you are still facing issues, then try performing a clean boot.

    A clean boot helps to verify if any third party application services or startup item is causing this issue.

    You may refer the following KB article to put the computer in clean boot:

    If your issue is resolved after performing Clean Boot, then follow the steps mentioned in the above KB article to narrow down the exact source.

    Also, after resolving the issue, see the section on the clean boot link to how to return your computer to a Normal startup mode by following the steps under “Reset the computer to start as usual.

    Hope this information is helpful.
