I was researching the internet and I found someone else with your problem. We could try first disabling a service relating to Windows Media Center, you go to Start - Run, you write "msconfig", agreed. Then go to Services and search the list: Microsoft Media Center State Aggregator Service (MSAS). You'll have to turn it off that list, accept the posters that appear and try to restart the computer to see if you get the error again.

You can also use the Windows installation disc and put to repair Windows, so surely will solve the problem.
