Hey

There is a fix for this apparently for the same issue, Download and run the FIX from the microsoft website. Let me know if this improves your situation

Have you had any updates since installing the fix? Check in the add/remove programs area

Start\Control Panel\Programs\Programs and Features\View installed updates,
If there any installed updates since the fix then please post what they are,
so i can determine if they are not critical
