Sorry but this is not very helpful.
What kind of error and is it the same for everything you try?
Do you see your icons when you are in windows?
When did this start?
Did you update and drivers, software or hardware right before this started?
Did you download anything from the internet right before this started?
What windows are you using?
System specs please...
Brand name or custom built?
Laptop or desktop?
If brand name what make and model?
If custom built what is the make and model of the motherboard?
What diagnostics test have you done already so we don't duplicate them?

sorry i kinda suck at computer. it is a desktop Vista. all this error started popping up like desktop window stopped working, msvcp71.dll was not found. its an acer

OK the error seems to be part of a recently installed software.
Did you install some software like a program or something right before this started?

OK no problem we can try to work around it for now.
Tutorial for running chkdsk in Win 7 and Vista located HERE. The instructions should be the same for both.
