Ok, when i start my windows copy like every passed time i got this error message Windows/System32/Config/System is missing but the file is there and it was working fine for many months now.
Anyway when i installed that copy i managed to install another one in a different drive and now i am typing from it, when i try to run daz, hexagon, sculptris or any other tool i get that error telling me that microsoft have encountered a problem.
at first zbrush was running but gave me a runtime c++ error (floating point support not loaded).
And i can't even install a fresh copy because my GODDAMN PC, i am still gathering money to buy a new powerful so i don't think i m gonna upgrade a few hardware, is there anything that can help me to run those tools without that floating or microsoft error? photoshop run as always and thats a shock to me.
Sorry for the bad english, it's not my first language.

    Floating point support not loaded!? What kind of system lacks floating point support in this day and age...?

    *Ahem*

    What you might want to do is check that you have the .NET libraries installed (be sure to note the dot). While I haven't encountered this issue myself, many C++ issues come from missing dependencies, so it couldn't hurt to ensure everything is installed correctly. You can find these on the Microsoft website.

    Is this Windows XP?

    The safest thing to do is put in the original Windows CD and do a 'Repair' installation.
    That message normally means the boot files are corrupted. You should then be able to get the first windows back.

    For a ‘Repair’ installation i doubt it will work, i did few repairs before but the issue is persisting i even change the HDD and the DVD drive and thats leave the RAM and CPU
    but ill do it one more time but after i reinstall all of the.NET libraries.
    and yes i use Windows XP, its only my opinion but i think xp is better than the others its been with me since ever.
    Thanks for your help Both.

    You may want to consider upgrading to a newer operating system as XP support ends in April I believe. Microsoft won't be issuing any more patches and most likely any security suite may follow suit afterwards.

    Yep, i heard about the end of XP support, i am going to start a new PC with 2 OS, XP and 7/8.
    I can't leave XP but in the future Windows 7 or 8 will look like XP and XP like 1998 or something.
    Thanks for the heads up.

    XP will become, even more than it is now, a complete security risk (think sewer...) in a little under 2 months. Don't even think about including it on any network connected machine, especially as dual booting with another version of Windows.

    Can you give me a list of the required .NET libraries which the os must have to work properly and in which order i must run them?
    I have many libraries now and i don't know what will work properly

    Zbrush,hexagon and sculptris, all of them run okay yesterday but i don't know what really happen it's like............i don't know and i didn't add any 3rd party or tools.

    1. You are facing imminent, catastrophic hard drive failure.

    or

    2. You have a massive persistent malware infection.

    Those are the only two things that I can think of that can cause this sort of recurring file corruption.

    My first choice of attack would be to eliminate the failing hard drive as a possibility. Download and run the hard drive manufacturer's diagnostics. This will tell you the state of your drive.

    Thanks for that, i thought the same a few days ago so i had to get a new hard drive and that was not it even for malware i really doubt about that. What i think is something wrong with the libraries like visual studios and Net framework.
    I just run hexagon as administrator and it did worked but won't run when i click it normally. I installed Net. framework 2.0 sp1, visual C++ 2008 and 2010, Can you tell me which one do i need too?
