On to methods:
Method nr1:I allready tried to do this downloaded the hotfix but it said i need to have service pack 2 meanwhile i have service pack 3
Method nr2:I run system itself as administrator,dont have other profile
Method nr3:I did attempted it as well but did not help as well;/
I allready think that reinstalling the system might help but there isnt pendrive that might hold data i have on hard drive
