See the link please:

I found this link, but I did not play with it , because it is dealing with registry.

I have got problem with all users include administrator.I do not have active directory.

The accounts and groups are all local to my machine?

I tried the link below, it did not work

Any thought ?!

Have you tried running sfc /scannow, or reinstalling the latest service pack?

Yes, without any success.

Start regmon (www.sysinternals.com) right before you attempt to recreate the problem, and then immediately after stop regmon logging. Take a look and see if you are missing the registry keys listed in the article you linked above (http://hidev.com/knowledge/listing.asp#95). If you're missing these keys, regmon should show you they are missing (when the parser comes across the code trying to access those keys, it should say "NOT FOUND"). It sounds like it's at least worth a try - and if you are unsure of what you're doing, just make a backup of the registry keys you're changing (as the article says) before fiddling that you can restore back if you get into trouble.

It sounds like you've exhausted every other possible fix (I remember you made a similar post for this error some time ago). If you aren't willing to go into the registry and see if you can fix it, then you'll likely have to reinstall the OS.

I was trying to :

"If the HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{080d0d78-f421-11d0-a36e-00c04fb950dc} key is missing or damaged, add the following lines to a text file, rename it with a .reg extension, and then import it to your registry".

I did what he suggested and I created a file and named it to Today.reg (see attachment),,,,,when I tried to export , it gave me this error message (see attachment).

The link says:

"I have created these reg files in zip for easy download... see below"

But I could not find where are these files !!!

Today.reg

Your file is missing the header that tells Windows it's a registry file - it should look like so if you want it to work (all .reg files need the "registry header"):

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{080d0d78-f421-11d0-a36e-00c04fb950dc}

[zillah]

Yes it is missing the header

Now I found that this value is missing as well:

" HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\LDAP, the key that is listed may be missing or corrupt or may not contain the value: {228D9A81-C302-11cf-9AA4-00AA004A5691} "

What should I do to import this value to registry ?

He has not mentioned the procedure how to do that,,,,

See the attachment for the missing value

[cluberti]

The value is actually in the CLSID key inside the LDAP key - however, if you do need to import it, the following will work:

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\LDAP\Clsid]
@="{228D9A81-C302-11cf-9AA4-00AA004A5691}"

[zillah]

I tried the registry , still the same problem is going on.
