Hi

Renaming or deleting the CatRoot2 folder is all what is needed to fix this
problem, the system will recreated needed files in that folder automatically.


The CatRoot2 folder is a part of the Driver Signing system:

From "System32 Folder" at
http://www.microsoft.com/technet/pro...g_det_sbnz.asp

CatRoot2 folder is for "Catalog files and signature files"
