Framework error

Q: I was wondering if you could help with a problem? I keep getting an error message that reads:  C:\windows\microsoft.net\framework 64\v.2.50727\config\machine config\ this is followed by the code 0XC00CE508 and the machine stops working. Can you give me any help to resolve this and stop the message occurring?

A: As you’ve probably gathered from the error message, this is a problem with Microsoft’s .NET Framework. In order to fix it you need to manually remove and reinstall the Framework programs. Exactly how to do this varies depending on the versions you have installed. Full instructions and links to downloads are available on the Microsoft support site along with a cleanup tool.

If that doesn’t work, try booting into Safe Mode – by tapping F8 at startup – and from a command prompt run sfc /scannow which will check for and repair damaged system files. If that fails you may need to do a repair install either from your original Windows disc or from the machine’s recovery partition.
