  It's always difficult to answer questions that don't offer details. How about providing some details about -
  
  1. What's the operating system? (Windows Vista or 7)
  2. Are there any service packs installed?
  3. Did you remove any hardware / software before the error popped up?
  4. Which application were you trying to start that shows the error?

  -open "command prompt" with administrator rights.
  -run sfc, type "sfc.exe/scannow" or "sfc/scannow" (ignore inverted commas)
  
  this will fix the broken system files.
  If it doesnot fix then insert Windows 7 disk & click on repair the computer during boot screen.
  
  Even if it fails, then move to Linux, everyone are welcome in our free openworld 😁

  1. Download this tool-> HiJackThis download | SourceForge.net
  2. Scan & Save log file.
  3. Upload log file somewhere or pastebin.com.
  4. Send the link to me in Private message or visitor message.
  
  It looks like unwanted (virus) to me.

  One reason for such error could be some corrupted start up function. Another could be broken system files (as Troll_So_Hard said), so check if this helps:
  

  • Open command prompt with administrator rights and type chkdsk c: /r and press enter. This will take some time but may fix the problem.

  Also if the above does not works , Do This: when this error comes, open Task Manager and from the Applications tab, right click on Error message App (whatever it's name is) and select "Go To Process " and do tell us the process name, it may help in identifying the problem.
  Hope it helps!
