Hi, Can you check whether you have MS10-92 installed (http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2305420) on your system? How to check:- 1. Run appwiz.cpl from the windows prompt. 2. Click on "View Installed Updates" on the left side pane. 3. See in the list if KB2305420 is there in the list or not. If not found, please go ahead and install this security patch on your system.
