It's probably connected to the store server or something. Try this [ Register or Signin to view external links. ] and or this. [ Register or Signin to view external links. ] also DO NOT FORGET to make a SYSTEM RESTORE POINT before you do this!

I would say so. Never had you're problem. Try to do the fix it for me and do what it says in article. If it messes up just restore to the point you made good luck man.
