  1. Open a web browser such as Firefox, Safari, or Internet Explorer.
  2. Go to http://support.microsoft.com/kb/942435/en-us
  3. Download and install the hotfix.
  4. Restart your system.

This hotfix resolves the error for the vast majority of Vista users. If this doesn't work, you can also try downloading and installing the latest Windows Vista Service Pack.
